# 1. Architectural Overview

Particri is architected in a high-performance two-tier hybrid model:
- **Tier 1: High-Performance C++20 Core (`_particri_core`)**:
  - Implements SIMD vector math, force fields, and multithreaded rasterization.
  - Integrates **`FastNoiseLite`** to compute divergence-free **Curl Noise** ($\nabla \cdot \vec{v} = 0$), producing smooth fluid-like particle turbulence.
  - Generates mathematical light sprites on-the-fly (`Star4`, `Star8`, `Bokeh`, `Halo`, `Streak`, `Glitter`).
  - High Dynamic Range (HDR) accumulation pipeline with multi-pass Gaussian Optical Bloom and Reinhard tone mapping.
  - Exposes zero-copy NumPy memory views via **`pybind11`**.
- **Tier 2: Python High-Level API (`particri`)**:
  - Intuitive, declarative class hierarchy with chaining support.
  - Infinite procedural style synthesis engine.
  - Automated Shutterstock batch production and SEO metadata generator.
  - Real-time interactive studio with live 60 FPS Pygame viewport.

    rate: float = 15.0,                  # Aux particles emitted per parent per second
    lifetime: float = 1.2,               # Lifespan of child particles in seconds

```

#### `clear` / `reset_forces` / `reset_emitters`
