4‑Dimensional Ray‑Tracing for General Relativistic Black‑Hole Simulations — E8 Intelligence Research

Discovered via YouTube: "What is 4D Raytracing? (Blackhole simulation) #SoME4" (aiyopasta) URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS8NotZ3diY The creator demonstrates a computational framework that extends classic 3‑D ray‑tracing into four dimensions, enabling the rendering of time‑dependent gravitational lensing around rotating black holes. Early results show qualitatively accurate photon orbit structures and potential for visualizing event‑horizon dynamics in real time. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
