Melted Metal.

The fusion of the upper and lower areas begins to interest me even more. This example of melted metal was submitted by 'anon' and hopefully does not contravene a copyright. Any body feel like using it as a texture on a 'melt' object that extends from the upper stave to the lower support?

Object and Palette Library .

This is the first bacteria image from a 3D model . The palette below the image is taken from Chromogenic Bacteria samples selected by and made up into a 'scale' format J.Braham . The colour on the model is the 7th on the scale. RGB values of the colours can be provided to 3D modellers for texture mapping. Currently the object library contains 1 virus, 1 cell and 1 bacteria. The positioning of these objects on the stave will (as in the 1st Glass Bead Game) reflect musical notes. Whilst objects in the original game were placed on the pivoted stave with the intention of reaching harmony and balance, the dynamic of Glass Bead War may log 'impacts' rather than 'placements'.
