Event Horizon

A probabilistic orbital loop engine where recorded events collapse toward a temporal singularity.

Artifact Classification:Temporal Manipulation Module – Class IV
Designation: Event Horizon
Form: 12HP Eurorack Module, Multi-Layer Loop Processor with Probabilistic Event Collapse
Finish: Matte Black Panel, Radial OLED Display (Optional), Stellar Markings
Maker: Monke of the Northern Quadrant

Operational Philosophy:
The Event Horizon does not repeat.

It remembers, compresses, and destabilizes.
Recorded material is not treated as a continuous signal, but as a constellation of discrete events, each bound to an orbital path in time. These events persist, evolve, and ultimately succumb to gravitational inevitability.
Time is not accelerated.
Time is folded inward.
Functional Overview:
Records audio or MIDI into a fixed temporal field
Detects events (transients, notes) and assigns orbital identity
Allows overdubbing without erasing prior states
Gradually reduces loop duration without altering pitchbr> Applies probabilistic mutation to each event:
omission
duplication
displacement
substitution

A central parameter, Gravity, governs the rate of temporal collapse.

Black Hole Mode:
Engagement of the singularity initiates:
Progressive loop contraction
Increased event density
Rising instability and mutation
Spectral heating (smear, noise, distortion)

Stable repetition degrades into emergent chaos.

No loop escapes indefinitely.

Optional Visual Interface: The OLED display renders events as orbiting bodies:
Position = temporal location
Radius = proximity to collapse
Brightness = stability
Flicker = mutation

As events approach the center, identity dissolves into a luminous accretion field.
Field Deployment Notes:
Event Horizon performs best when fed evolving or semi-stable material. Static loops will not survive prolonged exposure.
Pairs effectively with probabilistic or chaotic modulators.
Use with caution in closed systems. Collapse may be irreversible.

Usage Advisory:

Unrecommended for:
Repetition without change
