PhD Mentor-Tree Belief Drift Simulator (3D)
A 3D mentor tree of PhD candidates growing downward, generation by generation, from a single root advisor. Node color drifts from the root's methodological stance along each branch — watch how far a lineage's color has wandered by the time it reaches a leaf.
This 3D companion places the same mentor tree of PhD candidates in space: the root advisor sits at the apex, and each generation of students fans out onto a wider ring below it, forming a downward-growing cone. Node color tracks each candidate's inherited methodological stance, drifting a small independent step at every advisor→student hop — so you can watch a single branch's color visibly wander from the root's color by the time it reaches a leaf, several generations down, while a sibling branch a few hops over stays close to the original stance purely by chance.
A 3D tree structure grows generation by generation, with node colors drifting from the root belief representing the evolving stance on UFO-candidate pollution.
