Accessibility Equivalence

convert motion-heavy behavior into static, semantic, reduced-motion equivalents

Running the actual pattern live via applyPattern() — switch the substrate, stack overlays, watch the signals, or reverse the dynamics. Not a mock.

"Accessibility Equivalence" — convert motion-heavy behavior into static, semantic, reduced-motion equivalents. It has a attract layer (draw matter into a focus / well). The active render stack is particles.

The contract recipe: any motion-heavy behavior must map to a semantic, static, reduced-motion equivalent. No field behavior may be the only source of meaning.

Runtime tokens: attract draw matter into a focus / well
Metrics: attention computed every frame by the platform (proximity · engagement · relationships · age)memory computed every frame by the platform (proximity · engagement · relationships · age)coherence computed every frame by the platform (proximity · engagement · relationships · age)
Diagnostics: inspector
Render: particles
Reduced motion: this recipe defines the equivalent: motion-heavy behavior maps to a static, semantic, reduced-motion form
Without motion: field visuals clarify state but are never the only source of meaning — semantics carry it
