To me this whole idea seems rather difficult, if not impossible, to 
implement. We are talking about interactions happening at the atomic 
level of matter here.

And it would be far more interesting to sample real cymatic figures in 
the physical world and reuse them for synthesis or whatever.

Just my two cents.
