People see a flowing particle cloud. A camera recovers an error-protected one-time secret from consecutive frames.

GENERATIVE ALGORITHM
Deterministic spiral field over a complementary 18×18 phase carrier. Structural variant 50:1 warps arm twist, radial falloff, and vertical compression.
CAMERA EXTRACTION
Two-frame cyan chroma difference, border correlation, then Hamming and CRC.
ROBUSTNESS
Static stars cancel between phases; payload survives blur and display scaling.
ADAPTIVE SIGNAL ARCHITECTFind the quietest signal that survives all six channels
Minimax ranking protects the weakest camera condition, not the prettiest average.

Frames that fail the protocol header or CRC are rejected
PROTOCOL PIPELINE
Vision is the carrier. Cryptography is the boundary.
1Frame
A 128-bit random secret, version, and CRC form a 21-byte packet.
2Correct
Hamming(12,8) encodes each byte and repairs a single-bit error.
3Modulate
252 data bits map into the inner region of an 18×18 optical grid.
4Recover
The camera compares opposite phases, synchronizes on the border, then validates and releases.
This project demonstrates an optical out-of-band authentication link. Production pairing must continue with an authenticated key exchange after recognition; Particle Code is not itself an encryption algorithm.
