plurigrid WhiteHole - Zero-Latency Audio Loopback
Modern macOS + tripos audio loopback driver for inter-application audio routing with minimal latency.
Repository
- Source: https://github.com/bmorphism/WhiteHole
- Language: C (CoreAudio driver)
- Platform: macOS (AudioServerPlugin)
Core Concept
WhiteHole creates virtual audio devices that pass audio between applications with "hex color #000000 latency" - effectively zero perceptible delay.

Installation
# Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/bmorphism/WhiteHole
cd WhiteHole
xcodebuild -project WhiteHole.xcodeproj
# Install driver
sudo cp -R build/Release/WhiteHole.driver /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/
sudo launchctl kickstart -kp system/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod
Integration with Gay.jl Colors
WhiteHole devices can be color-coded using Gay.jl deterministic colors:
using Gay
# Assign deterministic color to audio channel
channel_seed = hash("WhiteHole:Channel1")
channel_color = gay_color(channel_seed) # e.g., LCH(72, 45, 280)
Use Cases
- Multi-app audio routing - Route DAW output to streaming software
- Audio analysis - Tap system audio for visualization
- Virtual soundcards - Create multiple virtual devices
- music-topos integration - Route SuperCollider to analysis tools
Tripos Integration
The "tripos" in the description refers to the three-way (GF(3)) audio routing:
| Channel | GF(3) Trit | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Left | MINUS | Primary signal |
| Right | PLUS | Secondary signal |
| Center | ERGODIC | Mixed/balanced |

Cat# Integration
This skill maps to Cat# = Comod(P) as a bicomodule in the equipment structure:
Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof
Poly Op: ⊗
Kan Role: Adj
Color: #26D826
GF(3) Naturality
The skill participates in triads satisfying:
(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)
This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.
