Attention Weather

show system urgency, density, and activity across a dashboard

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

"Attention Weather" — show system urgency, density, and activity across a dashboard. It has a gravity layer (universal attraction toward mass), a thermal layer (agitate matter at a temperature), a pressure layer (relax crowding (incompressibility)), a diffuse layer (spread a quantity over the medium), and a memory layer (a decaying trail / hysteresis). The active render stack is heatmap, metaballs, particles.

Mass falls toward what matters and heat rises where the system runs hot — gravitational priority and thermal weather translated to a dashboard.

Concepts: weather
Metrics: heat a semantic lane — drive it with data-field-<metric> (or a domain model); without that its --field-<metric> stays inertpressure computed every frame by the platform (proximity · engagement · relationships · age)attention computed every frame by the platform (proximity · engagement · relationships · age)density a semantic lane — drive it with data-field-<metric> (or a domain model); without that its --field-<metric> stays inert heat, density are host-supplied lanes — drive them with data-field-<metric> (or a domain model); without that, their --field-* stays inert.
Diagnostics: heatmap energy contours inspector
Render: heatmap · metaballs · particles
Reduced motion: a status rail with a pressure badge per section and a priority-ordered list
Without motion: section tone, a numeric pressure badge, and priority ordering carry urgency without animation
