Reference Guide

A complete reference for all eight For Humanity Wellness tools — Fibonacci mathematics, solfeggio frequencies, cymatics, sacred geometry, toroidal field, breathwork, binaural beats and HRV biofeedback.

Fibonacci Sequence Kaleidoscopic Mirrors Solfeggio Tones Healing Features

The For Humanity Wellness Suite

Eight tools sharing a common design language — each pairs a distinct sacred geometry visual with nine ancient solfeggio frequencies, binaural beats, breathwork guidance, a session timer and a frequency journey. Every visual is built from the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio φ ≈ 1.618. Every audio layer is tuned to a 432 Hz foundation.

The controls panel is consistent across all tools. The sections below describe the shared features. Where a control exists on only one tool (such as the Mirrors slider on Kaleidoscope, or the Pulse slider on Toroidal Field) it is noted.

Kaleidoscope

Mirror-symmetric wedge tunnel. Coloured rings expand outward from the centre. Fibonacci ring spacing, golden-angle colour cycling, Fibonacci ripple on ring edges.

Cymatics

Chladni wave-field patterns mathematically derived from each solfeggio frequency via a Fibonacci Bridge. Nine distinct sacred geometry forms evolve continuously.

Sacred Geometry

Nine animated forms — Vesica Piscis, Flower of Life, Star Tetrahedron, Nine Interlocking Triangles, a thirteen-circle Platonic lattice — drawn in the colour of the selected frequency.

Spiral

Golden-ratio Fibonacci spiral mandala expanding outward ring by ring, each ring timed and coloured to its solfeggio frequency.

Toroidal Field

Dipole field-line mesh modelling the heart's measured electromagnetic geometry. Pulse speed and coherence visualisation based on HeartMath research.

Heart Coherence

Sine-wave breath pacer at 0.1 Hz for 5·5 coherent breathing. Includes the full solfeggio audio suite and optional BLE heart rate monitoring.

📶

HRV Monitor (×2)

Kaleidoscope HRV and Toroidal HRV — live RMSSD and coherence biofeedback via BLE chest strap, desktop Chrome/Edge and Android Chrome only.

🔊

Shared Audio

All tools share the same audio engine: 432 Hz foundation, nine solfeggio tones, binaural / isochronic / blend modes, ambient layer, and voice breathwork guide.

Audio Section

ControlTypeWhat it does
Beat Mode3-button toggleBinaural — left ear hears the solfeggio frequency, right ear hears it plus the beat offset. Brain perceives the difference as an internal pulsation. Requires headphones. Isochronic — the tone is amplitude-modulated at the beat frequency, creating audible pulses. Works over speakers. Blend — both methods at reduced individual volumes.Default: Blend
Start / Stop AudioButtonInitialises the Web Audio engine. Must be triggered by a user gesture due to browser autoplay policy. The Frequency Journey auto-starts audio if it is not already running.
ToneSlider 0–100Volume of the solfeggio tone — fundamental, 2nd harmonic, and sub-octave combined.Default: 10
BeatSlider 0–100Volume of the binaural or isochronic beat layer.Default: 20
FoundationSlider 0–100Volume of the constant 432 Hz foundation drone beneath all other audio.Default: 15
AmbientSlider 0–100Volume of the optional ambient audio layer — pairs musically with the active solfeggio tone.Default: 50
Voice — GenderFemale / Male toggleScans the device's available Text-to-Speech voices and selects the best match for the chosen gender. The selected voice name is shown below the toggle. Applies to both breath guide and intention voice. Desktop only — voice guidance is hidden on mobile.
Voice — SoftnessSlider 0–100Maps to TTS pitch. At 0 the voice speaks at natural pitch; at 100 pitch drops to ~62% of normal, producing a warmer, more resonant, meditative quality.Default: 50

Session Section

ControlTypeWhat it does
Duration5 / 10 / 20 / 30 minLength of the timed session.Default: 10 min
Start / Pause / ContinueButtonStarts a countdown visible in the top-right of the canvas. Tap again to pause — audio fades out and the countdown holds; tap Continue to resume exactly where it left off, audio fading back in. Starting a session also starts audio automatically if it isn't already playing. In the final 15 seconds of an active session, audio fades and the visual dims, ending the session gently.
Stop & ResetButtonFully resets the session at any point, whether running or paused. If the session was what auto-started the audio, this also stops that audio — but leaves it playing if it was already running before the session began. Disabled when a frequency journey is running, alongside Start / Pause / Continue.
Intention textareaText inputPaste any paragraph, affirmation, or list of intentions. Each sentence cycles through: 2.2s fade in → 5.5s visible → 2.2s fade out, then the next begins.

Export Session LogButtonDownloads a plain text file summarising all active settings and elapsed session time, with a blank personal notes section. Named with the current date. Can be kept as a practice record or shared with a therapist.

Frequency Journey Section

ControlTypeWhat it does
Frequency chipsToggleable buttonsGold chip buttons for each of the nine solfeggio frequencies. Click any chip to deselect it from the journey; click again to restore. The All button instantly reselects all nine. The journey plays only selected frequencies in ascending order.
Mins / stepSlider 1–5Minutes spent at each frequency before transitioning to the next. The journey button label shows total duration live: e.g. 9 steps × 2 min = 18 min.Default: 2
▶ Start / ⏸ PauseButtonStart begins the journey from the first selected frequency. During the journey it becomes ⏸ Pause — pressing it freezes the visual, mutes audio, and pauses the breathwork guide and countdown. The button then shows ▶ Continue.
↺ Stop & ResetButtonStops and resets the journey entirely, restoring audio gain, resuming the visual, and re-enabling the session timer. Only active when a journey is running or paused.
Progress barDisplayA row of step indicators below the buttons. Completed steps are amber, the active step is bright amber, upcoming steps are dim.
Journey infoDisplayShows current frequency, step number, and time remaining in the current step. On the canvas, the same info appears faintly at the bottom of the circle throughout the journey.
Journey overrides session timer. Starting a journey stops any active session and disables the session Start button until the journey ends or is stopped. This prevents conflicting timers. The most powerful combination is Journey + Breathwork + Intention for a fully automated, hands-free healing session.

How the Features Work Together

432 Hz Foundation

A constant subtle oscillator at 432 Hz runs beneath all other audio whenever audio is active. This tuning system is independent of the standard 440 Hz concert pitch and is widely used in sound healing for its perceived warmth and naturalness. The Foundation slider controls its level independently of the solfeggio tones.

Binaural vs Isochronic vs Blend

Binaural beats require headphones — the two slightly different frequencies must reach each ear independently for the brain to perceive the internal pulsation. Isochronic tones work over speakers because the pulse is built into the amplitude modulation of a single signal. Blend combines both at lower individual volumes. The beat frequency for each solfeggio tone is associated with a specific brainwave band (see the Solfeggio table below).

Breathwork Guide

The breath ring expands during Inhale and contracts during Exhale. The Hold phase after Inhale locks the ring at its maximum radius; the Hold or Rest phase after Exhale locks it at its minimum. The phase name and countdown are anchored at a fixed position inside the visual — they do not track the ring size, so they never fly out of the circle. If Voice breath guide is enabled, the phase name is spoken softly at each transition.

Intention Sentence Cycling

Paste a paragraph, a set of affirmations, or any multi-sentence text. The input splits it at sentence boundaries and cycles through each sentence with a gentle 2.2-second fade in and out, with 5.5 seconds of full visibility. This means a 3-sentence paragraph completes one full pass in about 30 seconds. The Repeat setting controls how many passes occur — Loop for continuous use, or a fixed count. Every minute resets back to the first sentence, which works well when aligned with a session timer.

Voice Settings

Both breath guidance and intention reading use the device's built-in Text-to-Speech engine. Gender selection scans available voices by name patterns (Samantha, Karen, Aria → female; Daniel, David, James → male). Softness adjusts the TTS pitch parameter — higher softness produces a warmer, lower-pitched delivery. Voice speed applies only to the intention reading rate, not the breath guide. The breath guide always speaks at the same measured pace regardless of voice speed.

Session Fade

In the final 15 seconds of a timed session, audio fades out gradually and a subtle darkening overlay dims the canvas. This prevents the jarring experience of a session ending abruptly — the experience dissolves gently rather than cutting off.

Session Auto-Audio, Pause & Reset

Starting a session automatically starts audio too, if it isn't already playing — a small notice above the Session button flags this before you tap Start. The Session button then works as a Pause/Continue toggle: pausing fades audio out and holds the countdown; Continue resumes both from exactly where they left off. A separate Stop & Reset button fully resets the session at any point. If the session was what auto-started the audio, Stop & Reset stops it too — but audio you'd already started manually before the session began is left running.

Low Stimulation Mode

When enabled: saturation drops to ~30% of normal producing soft, muted pastels; animation speed slows to 35%; seams widen; audio harmonics are removed leaving only a pure fundamental sine wave. Designed for acute stress, sensory sensitivity, or anyone who finds the full experience overwhelming.

Smooth Breath Ring Transitions

The breath ring radius now interpolates smoothly between phases rather than jumping instantly at each boundary. A lerp factor of 9% per frame means the ring glides organically — the visual matches the felt experience of breath, where inhale and exhale blend continuously rather than switching abruptly.

Preset Session Bundles

A Presets section sits at the top of the controls panel with five one-tap configurations. Each preset applies a complete set of settings simultaneously — frequency, beat mode, breathwork pattern, speed, low stim mode, session duration, and a suggested intention text. Tap any preset and everything reconfigures instantly.

HRV Biofeedback

The Kaleidoscope HRV and Toroidal HRV pages support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) heart rate monitors via the Web Bluetooth API. Tap 📶 Connect BLE Heart Rate Monitor and select your device from the Chrome device picker.

Chest straps are the recommended sensor. Finger pulse oximeters with a standard BLE GATT profile are also supported:

Chest straps (CooSpo, Magene, Polar H10 etc.) — measure the heart's electrical signal directly, giving highly accurate RR intervals for HRV calculation. These are the preferred option for serious HRV work. SpO₂ is not available from chest straps.

Finger pulse oximeters (BLE-enabled models) — measure heart rate and SpO₂ optically through the fingertip. When the device exposes a standard Pulse Oximeter GATT service, the toolkit will automatically detect and display SpO₂ alongside heart rate.

A note on accuracy: Finger-based BLE sensors measure the peripheral pulse wave rather than the cardiac electrical signal. Heart rate and SpO₂ readings are generally reliable, but RR interval timing — the basis of HRV and coherence scoring — is less accurate than a chest strap due to the additional transit time and motion sensitivity of peripheral pulse detection. For casual wellness use the difference is small; for precise HRV measurement a chest strap is recommended. Budget chest straps (CooSpo, Magene, around £20–25) provide data quality equivalent to sensors costing several times more for this purpose.
Desktop only — Chrome or Edge required. Web Bluetooth is not supported in Safari or Firefox, and is not available on iOS or Android browsers. HRV biofeedback requires a desktop or laptop computer running Chrome or Edge with a compatible BLE chest strap paired via Bluetooth.

Session Log Export

Tap 📋 Export Session Log at the bottom of the Session section to download a plain text file summarising everything active during your session — solfeggio frequency, beat mode, breathwork pattern, intention text, journey status, voice settings, BPM if biofeedback was running, and elapsed time.

Solfeggio Frequencies & Binaural Beats

🎧 Headphones required for binaural beats. A binaural beat is perceived when two pure tones of slightly different frequency are delivered independently — one to each ear. Over speakers the two signals mix before reaching your ears and the effect is lost. Use Isochronic or Blend mode for speaker use.

The Fibonacci Structure

The Fibonacci sequence F(1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21…) appears at every level of the visual.

Ring Positions

Each ring's normalised radial position is (i / depth + time·speed) mod 1, scaled to canvas radius. When an inner boundary wraps past 1.0 it resets to 0, spawning a new ring at the vanishing point.

Ripple Formula

Boundary offset at angle θ
Σ (A / k) · sin( F(i) · F(k) · θ · 2.4 + t · speed · F(i) + k·1.7 )

k runs over the first three Fibonacci indices, so each ripple layer oscillates at a Fibonacci-multiple of the base frequency — true fractal self-similarity.

Golden Angle Colour Spacing

Golden angle = 360° × (1 − 1/φ) ≈ 137.508° — the most irrational rotation, derived from φ. Spacing hue values by this angle guarantees no two rings share a similar hue within any finite cycle. The same principle governs sunflower seed spirals and phyllotaxis.

Seam Oscillation

Gap angle (degrees)
Σ (F(k+1)/F(k+2)) · 2.8 · |sin( t · speed · F(k+1) · 0.09 + k·2.3 )|


Colour System

All nine solfeggio frequencies each own a distinct colour range. Rather than cycling through the full 360° colour wheel, each frequency owns a colour range centred on its own hue. The Fibonacci wave function modulates within that range — so colour variation and geometric structure share the same mathematical source.

HzNameColour centreRange
174FoundationDeep crimson±20°
285HealingMagenta-red±20°
396LiberationRed±20°
417ChangeOrange±16°
528MiracleGold±8°
639ConnectionGreen±36°
741IntuitionSky blue±26°
852OrderIndigo±24°
963UnityViolet±24°

639 Hz (Connection) has the widest range of the nine, at ±36° — green sits in a broad perceptual hue-family, so a wider swing doesn't risk drifting into a different named colour the way tighter zones like gold or orange would. A name and description badge appears below the solfeggio selector in both apps, displayed in that frequency's own colour.

Controls Panel — Hide & Reopen

The controls panel opens pinned by default on desktop. The Hide button in the top-left of the panel header closes it for a distraction-free fullscreen view. Moving the mouse reopens and re-pins the panel permanently — no timed auto-hide. On mobile the panel is opened via the ⬡ Controls button and dismissed by tapping outside it.

Screen Wake Lock

Both apps request a screen wake lock on load, preventing the device display from dimming or turning off during a session. The lock is automatically released when you switch away from the app and re-acquired when you return. Requires iOS 16.4+ or modern Android/Chrome. On unsupported devices the feature silently does nothing.

Breath Text Size Slider

The S/M/L buttons for breath guide text have been replaced with a continuous slider (range 1–5, default 2.5). This gives finer control over the phase label and countdown size on the canvas.

Mobile — Voice Desktop Only

All voice controls (gender, softness, breath guide voice, intention voice, speed) are hidden on touch/mobile devices and replaced with a quiet note "Voice guidance available on desktop." This is because the default TTS voices on iOS and Android are not suitable for a healing context. On desktop browsers the full voice system is available.


The Fibonacci Bridge

The cymatics visual engine uses a Fibonacci Bridge to map each solfeggio frequency to a visually rich Chladni resonance range (1,200–4,800 Hz equivalent), while the audio plays at the correct solfeggio pitch. Each audio frequency is multiplied by a Fibonacci number (5, 8 or 13) chosen so the result lands close to a known beautiful physical Chladni figure.

963 Hz × 5 = 4,815 Hz — almost exactly f₂₅ = 4,817 Hz in the physical Chladni plate series. The radial ring modes at 963 Hz fall at 13, 21, 34, 55 — four consecutive Fibonacci numbers. Each ring outward is the golden ratio expansion of the previous one.

Angular geometry — sacred frequency identity

The angular symmetry of each pattern is preserved from each frequency's natural sacred geometry. This is independent of the Fibonacci Bridge and stays constant regardless of style or complexity setting.

Rendering styles

🌿

Organic

The wave field modulates hue within the frequency's colour range. Background is dark; nodal regions are bright. Angular shimmer moves continuously across the pattern.

🔬

Scientific

Near-black background with glowing nodal lines in the frequency's own colour. Cleaner geometric read than Organic.

Chladni

Photorealistic nodal-line rendering matching real cymatics photography — bright lines on near-black. The Glow slider controls line sharpness from razor-thin to soft glow. Default style.

Controls

ControlTypeEffect
SpeedSlider 1–21Animation rate. Uses a power curve so the upper half (12–21) is meaningfully faster. 21 is a Fibonacci number.
ComplexitySlider 1–6Adds harmonic overtones weighted at 1/φ, 1/φ², 1/φ³. At 1 the pure fundamental Chladni figure shows. At 6 multiple overtones interfere, creating intricate secondary cells.
GlowSlider 1–10In Chladni style: controls nodal line width — low = razor sharp, high = soft glow. In Organic/Scientific: controls brightness of nodal regions.
FlowSlider −10 to +10Direction of wave propagation. Positive = inward ripple, zero = standing wave (pattern is static, very striking), negative = outward ripple expanding from centre.
Honest framing. The cymatics patterns are mathematically grounded in the same wave physics that produces real Chladni plate figures, but rendered as living light rather than sand on a plate. The Fibonacci Bridge decouples the audio frequency (which stays at the therapeutic solfeggio pitch) from the visual frequency (which targets a visually complex Chladni resonance range). The angular geometry remains faithful to each frequency's natural sacred form.

Toroidal Field

The Toroidal Field tool visualises the electromagnetic field geometry of the heart itself — where the other tools project Fibonacci mathematics through light and geometry, the torus page grounds the mathematics in measured cardiac physics.

What the visual shows

The heart's electromagnetic field has been measured and mapped by HeartMath Institute researchers. Its geometry is toroidal — energy flows out from the top of the heart, curves around the exterior of the body, and returns through the bottom in a continuous self-sustaining loop. This is not metaphor but measured physical reality: a torus-shaped field extending several feet beyond the body in all directions.

The visualisation renders this as a figure-8 mesh of dipole field lines — the mathematical curves that describe how field lines actually flow around a magnetic dipole. Each line follows the equation r(θ) = L·sin²(θ) in polar coordinates, which is the exact formula for a dipole field line. Multiple lines at different toroidal angles together form the characteristic figure-8 envelope. As coherence increases, more lines appear and the centre convergence point brightens — the field becomes more expansive and more ordered.

The coherence connection

HRV coherence — the degree to which the heart rhythm oscillates in a smooth, regular sine wave pattern — correlates with the degree of order in the heart's toroidal field. The 5·5 coherent breathing pattern at 0.1 Hz is the resonant frequency of the heart's toroidal field. Practising coherent breathing at this rate entrains the heart rhythm, increasing coherence and the measured order of the electromagnetic field.

5·5 Coherent breathing at 0.1 Hz — 5 seconds in, 5 seconds out — is the single most evidence-supported intervention for improving HRV coherence. At this breathing rate, the breath and heart rhythm come into resonance, producing a large, regular oscillation in RR intervals that HeartMath calls the coherence state. The Toroidal Field tool defaults to this pattern.

The torus in nature and tradition

The torus appears at every scale of physical reality. The magnetic field of the Earth is toroidal. Galaxy formation produces toroidal structures. Smoke rings and water vortices are transient tori. At the subatomic level, the electron probability cloud around a nucleus has toroidal modes. Sacred geometry traditions — which predate the physics by millennia — recognised the torus too: the Flower of Life and several interlocking-polyhedron and multi-triangle constructions across different traditions all encode toroidal relationships. What modern physics measures as a self-sustaining electromagnetic field, earlier traditions described as a self-sustaining field of energy. The geometry is the same.

Epilepsy safety note

The Pulse speed slider is hard-capped at a maximum rate of 0.006 radians per tick, equivalent to one full field sweep cycle taking a minimum of approximately 8.7 seconds at 60 fps. This keeps the visual well below the 3 Hz flicker threshold associated with photosensitive epilepsy risk. The slow meditative sweep is a feature, not a limitation — it matches the timescale of coherent breathing and feels unhurried.
