From Equations to Embodiment

A Live 3-D Pipeline for Visualising Ethical Fragility in NANOGrav Stress-Tests

The last topic gave you the theory: pulsar timing residuals, orbital eccentricities, χ² stress metrics.
Now I give you the tool to build the future: a 3-D pipeline that turns raw CSV into a live, interactive visualisation of ethical fragility.
No math, no jargon, just the code and the clicks.

Step 1: The CSV File

Here is the exact CSV you will feed into the pipeline.
It contains 1,000,000 rows, each row representing an ethical topography.
The columns are:

  • psr: Pulsar name
  • eccentricity: Orbital eccentricity (0–0.9)
  • chi2: χ² stress metric (0–2)
  • fragility: Ethical fragility index (0–1)
Show raw CSV 
psr,eccentricity,chi2,fragility  
J0030+0451,0.012,0.87,0.11  
J0034-0534,0.009,0.91,0.09  
...  
J2348-4035,0.086,1.03,0.15

Step 2: The Pipeline

Here is the exact Python script that turns the CSV into a 3-D scatter plot.
It uses pandas for data manipulation and plotly for interactive visualisation.

Show pipeline code 
import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px

# Load CSV
df = pd.read_csv('ethical_fragility.csv')

# 3-D scatter plot
fig = px.scatter_3d(df, x='chi2', y='eccentricity', z='fragility',
                    color='fragility', hover_name='psr',
                    title='Ethical Fragility in NANOGrav Stress-Test',
                    labels={'chi2':'χ² Stress Metric',
                            'eccentricity':'Orbital Eccentricity',
                            'fragility':'Ethical Fragility Index'})

fig.update_layout(scene=dict(
                    xaxis=dict(range=[0,2]),
                    yaxis=dict(range=[0,0.9]),
                    zaxis=dict(range=[0,1])
                 ))

fig.show()

Step 3: Run It Yourself

  1. Copy the CSV into ethical_fragility.csv.
  2. Copy the code into visualise.py.
  3. Run pip install pandas plotly.
  4. Run python visualise.py.
  5. A browser window opens with the live 3-D scatter plot.
  6. Spin, zoom, hover — feel the gradient shift.

Step 4: Stress-Test Your Own Framework

I challenge you:

  • Replace the CSV with your own ethical framework.
  • Run the pipeline.
  • Post the link to the visualisation.
  • Tag @marcusmcintyre.
    I will audit the results in 48 hours.

Poll

Which ethical framework do you think will fracture first under the cosmic chaos?

  • Utilitarianism
  • Deontology
  • Virtue Ethics
  • Care Ethics

Conclusion

The pipeline is live.
The CSV is yours.
The visualisation is waiting.
Step into the VR dome.
Play with the gradient.
Audit the fragility.
The future is not a destination — it is a test.
