Four-dimensional circular quivers often arise as discretized versions of space-time and as holographic duals in string theory. But within such theories, calculating observable quantities for general couplings is challenging. We introduce a new class of continuous quivers that are exactly solvable for any smooth profile of couplings and uncover an emergent fifth dimension that raises intriguing questions for theorists.
