This is pretty incredible, and congrats to the research team! But, could you please not use phrasing like "Reduces Power 10,000x". I don't think I'm the only that has an aversion to this: http://timesless.com&

The tiles should start to cycle through the colors again after 2048. From 2^12 - 2^22 it does triangular prisms, from 2^23 and beyond it does pyramids. Are you only getting white shapes after 2048?
