ReGenesis Field v1.0: A Minimal HTML Engine Cell for Depth, Motion, and Distortion

The ReGenesis Field is a minimal, self‑contained HTML/CSS engine cell that transforms any DOM element into a reactive, physics‑like surface. It implements three core behaviours—depth, motion, and distortion—using only native browser capabilities and no external dependencies. Each Field acts as a micro‑engine: a layered structure with its own depth plane, inertial motion cycle, and recursive transform stack, anchored by a stable content core. This release provides the canonical ReGenesis Field snippet, designed as the smallest reproducible unit of the broader ReGenesis Engine. It enables researchers, developers, and engine designers to construct reactive surfaces, layered visual systems, and DOM‑based simulation environments with minimal overhead. The Field can be duplicated, nested, or stacked to form larger reactive worlds, making it suitable for experimentation, teaching, and engine prototyping. Included in this deposit: • The complete ReGenesis Field v1.0 snippet • A technical explanation of its structure and behaviour • Usage instructions for integrating Fields into larger systems • Notes on depth scaling, motion tuning, and distortion layering The ReGenesis Field demonstrates how HTML and CSS can function as a lightweight rendering engine, offering a foundation for future extensions of the ReGenesis Engine and related Carlo frameworks.
