Intelligence. Crystallized.
A 3D knowledge graph for Obsidian with golden angle coloring β see your ideas as nature intended.
Your knowledge deserves better than a flat, monochrome graph. Z-PRISM transforms your vault into a living 3D constellation where:
- Every domain has a distinct color β using the golden angle (137.508Β°), the same mathematics that arranges sunflower seeds
- Related notes cluster together β force-directed physics groups connected ideas
- Zoom reveals structure β labels appear as you focus, disappear as you pan out
- Cross-domain bridges glow β see where your knowledge connects across disciplines
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 3D Force-Directed Graph | Navigate your vault in three dimensions |
| Golden Angle Coloring | 26+ distinct domain colors, mathematically optimal |
| Zoom-Based Labels | Labels appear/hide based on zoom level |
| Real-Time Physics | Tune center force, repel force, link distance |
| Path/Tag Filtering | Focus on specific folders or tags |
| Dark/Light Mode | Automatic theme detection |
Golden Angle = 360Β° / ΟΒ² β 137.508Β°
This angle appears in nature β sunflower spirals, galaxy arms, leaf arrangements. When applied to colors:
- No repetition β colors follow a Fibonacci spiral
- No clustering β adjacent folders have maximum contrast
- Scales infinitely β works for 5 folders or 500
