How it works

Each anomaly is a point mass. Every light ray entering from the left is a free-falling test particle: at each step it feels a Newtonian inverse-square pull from every anomaly and its velocity is integrated (semi-implicit Euler, softened at short range to avoid a singularity):

a = Σᵢ G·mᵢ·(rᵢ − p) / (|rᵢ − p|² + ε²)^1.5
v += a·dt
p += v·dt

The running turn of a ray's velocity away from its initial straight-line heading is its deflection angle — the same quantity that describes real gravitational lensing near a massive body, simplified here to Newtonian gravity instead of full general relativity. A ray whose deflection exceeds the detection threshold is flagged and counted.
