Description
The main control room of a stellar lifting megastructure encircling a star. The chamber's supercomputer renders its projections by transforming light into a solid state.More retro-esque sci fi.
UPDATE (3rd May 2017): A big shoutout to @KeinZantezuken for the DD suggestion. This officially marks my 10th DD!

truly amazing of the entire simulated solar system in a huge room! what are those bring rings around the sun?

That's the megastructure that surrounds the star

Yikes! I'd hate to have the responsibility of being that supercomputer's sysadmin!
Imagine applying patches to the OS, only unbeknownst to you, one of the upgrades has a bug in it. The new software goes into an infinite loop, a whole lot more photons are transformed into the solid state than anyone thought possible (creating a major depletion in the local Higgs field), and all this excess mass means that you've exceeded Chandrasekhar's limit. So the star goes supernova.
The catastrophe isn't the worst thing, either. It's all the paperwork you have to fill out afterwards, to say nothing of all the meetings you have to attend with the boss and the customers.

Fuses.
Simulator contents exceed maximum allowed temperature => fuses cut off the supply of light.

That could work, assuming the supercomputer's cryogenics aren't based on Bose-Einstein condensates. (If they are, then an unlimited number of photons could occupy the lowest-energy states, and a temperature sensor (i.e. the fuse) wouldn't detect anything amiss.)

Photons as such could stay under the radar, but once they're in solid state (I presume the simulator manufactures atoms as per the composition of the actual stellar-system objects it represents), you should get your usual increase in temperature when mass rises and volume remains the same.
As an alternative, the safety detectors could react to density surges inside the chamber instead of increases in temperature.
Admittedly, there's still room for catastrophe. Supercomputers and technologies this advanced could actually cut the detector devices out of the loop somehow. Maybe the glitch could be that the main system would see the safety system itself as a flaw to be corrected!

An orrery (a favourite word of mine) on a very grand scale. A wonderful idea, beautifully implemented. Thank you for posting.

I second zh84's comments. This looks like an orrery that knows its syzygy!

A bit disproportional, but very, VERY impressive.

When i read the description i was thinking "Whuhh? Is that possible?". Awesome piece!
