GPU path-attractor particle tunnel — ~256k particles fly forward through an infinite-zoom tunnel while tracing a polygon loop that morphs from circle to octagon to triangle. Fast on-path particles streak white-hot; dispersed ones bloom into gaseous magenta and purple clouds. Patch the beat onto the morph and roll for a rhythmic ride.
