Search Field Study

Concept study

A ranked list becomes an evidence landscape. Results are records bound through bindData(); the Trust Gradient pattern turns each result's confidence into a gradient and contradictions stand apart — still a plain list with the field off.

Data honesty

Data source
Synthetic. The query, results, source confidence, and contradiction flags are hand-authored sample records — not a real search index or a real corpus.
Snapshot
Fixed sample data defined in-page; there is no committed data snapshot and no snapshot script feeds this study.
Live refresh
No external data, so no live refresh. The field re-settles as you open results or toggle the field.
Not claimed
The field turns each result's confidence into a trust gradient and marks contradictions. It does not rank relevance or decide which result is correct — the confidence values are illustrative inputs.
BeforeA plain ranked list of results with sources.
AfterConfidence reads as a trust gradient; contradictions are flagged; opened results are marked.

Field off stops the simulation and the list falls back to plain ranked results — different from turning a single projection off, where the field keeps running and only one drawn expression stops.

Patterns applied

Each is a real FieldPattern from the catalog. The ones marked live are driven through applyPattern() on this page; the rest are the conceptual family this study embodies.

Search Relevance Field gravity

let search results settle by relevance, confidence, and recency

attract memory repel
Trust Gradient electromagnetic live

show confidence, verification, and unsupported claims

charge link cohesion memory
Source Constellation strong

show how multiple sources gather around claims, topics, or decisions

link charge gravity memory cohesion
Polarity Filter electromagnetic

let opposing states, tags, or preferences sort themselves visibly

charge repel attract diffuse
Memory Trace weak

show where a user has been, paused, returned, or accumulated attention
