Students & educators
Study or teach one causal chain from mechanism to visible evidence using diagrams, equations, implementations, and live experiments together.
Video Artifacts
See where an image goes wrong—then follow the same phenomenon from physical mechanism to mathematics, shader code, and a live experiment.

Who is this book for?
Developers
Translate physical behaviour into bounded mathematics, readable shader passes, implementation contracts, and testable controls.
Digital artists
Build intentional looks from meaningful parameters and understand when an approximation preserves—or breaks—the original phenomenon.
Photographers & videographers
Diagnose where an artifact enters the chain and distinguish optical, material, capture, transport, and reproduction causes.
