Gummy matter. A jittered, tetrahedral interior takes ten small XPBD steps per tick. Each cell preserves its volume and follows a best-fit rotation; edge damping dissipates motion without braking the whole slice. Contact and friction keep it on the board.

Candy light. WebGPU draws a depth-aware back surface, a soft studio, and a refracted front surface with absorption, scatter and polished highlights. A light-space shadow and top-down contact map ground the specimen.

A real split. The blade plane is mapped into each piece’s moving rest frame. Two clipped, rounded solids replace it, carrying the old deformation and velocity. A pressure groove precedes separation; the cut lips spring back as the steel lifts.

These are visual material studies, not calibrated food mechanics. Screen-space refraction cannot reveal objects outside the camera view.
