Introduction

The goal of this project was to create a functional miniature desktop display inspired by the 'Macrodata Refinement' computers featured in Apple TV's Severance. This build consists of two core elements: the software and the physical enclosure, both outlined below.

I. The Software

Objectives

✔ Generate a randomized number grid with grouped 'bad numbers'.
✔ Animate and style the interface to match the aesthetics of the show.

a. The Number Grid

1	GENERATE	A NxN grid is filled with random numbers between 0-9.
2	MAP	A Perlin noise map generates smooth gradients, grouping numbers logically.
3	THRESHOLD	Values above a set threshold are marked as 'bad'.
4	GROUP	'Bad' numbers are grouped based on their proximity to others.

b. The Interface
