In order to do so, it interprets the matrix's planes in a particular way: if the incoming matrix is 5-plane, planes 2-4 are interpreted as 3-dimensional position data (x, y, z); if the incoming matrix is 8-plane, planes 2-4 are considered position data, and planes 5-7 as velocity data (in the 5-plane model, velocity is derived from an analysis of positional change).
The world of the jit.p.vishnu object is fairly simple: particles, born in the jit.p.shiva object are animated by applying force to them. New particles (i.e., particles with identical values in both rows 0 and 1) are given an initial position with the pos attribute. Next they are assigned an initial velocity, through the pitch, yaw and speed attributes. Finally, each time the particle passes through the object, the velocity is altered by the world's force.
