UFO Debris Lattice Matcher 3D

3D instanced-atom lattice simulator: a randomly sampled elemental lattice representing a claimed 'UFO debris' sample is compared structurally, atom by atom, against a reference lattice for the best-matching known material using cosine similarity of composition histograms.

This is the structural counterpart to the 2D spectral matcher: instead of a continuous X-ray fluorescence trace, a claimed sample is represented as a 3D lattice of atoms, each stochastically assigned an element from your chosen composition. A second lattice shows the best-matching reference material — aluminum alloy, iron meteorite, industrial slag or silica glass — for direct visual and numerical comparison. The match score comes from cosine similarity between the realized element-count histograms, the discrete-counting equivalent of the correlation metric used on continuous spectra, and it degrades exactly the way a real point-analysis (EDS/SEM) identification does as sampling noise rises or the lattice gets smaller.
