The **Router Node** (`RouterNode`) dynamically switches a single incoming data stream across multiple output routes based on a numerical index channel.

## 🔀 Signal Routing Architecture

- **Path Index**: Selects which output terminal receives the active signal (`0`, `1`, `2`, `3`...).
- **Polymorphic Numeric Routing**: Under the **Number or Sequence** type, the router transparently passes either scalar numbers or multi-element sequence arrays through to the selected output without flattening or truncation.
- **Inactive Output State**: Disengaged output sockets release their values, allowing background scenes or secondary graphs to take over downstream control.

## 💡 Practical Stage Recipe

Route an Audio Beat signal to Output 0 and an Automatic Oscillator sequence to Output 1. By toggling the Router index via a Dashboard [Function Widget](https://unilighter.cc/info/for-ai/docs/dashboard/widget-function.md), you can instantly swap a line of moving heads between unison sound-reactive bumps and an animated wave chase without rewiring the graph.
