Calibration Field

help users tune settings toward a stable target

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

"Calibration Field" — help users tune settings toward a stable target. It has a gravity layer (universal attraction toward mass), a cohesion layer (flocking — pull toward neighbours), a pressure layer (relax crowding (incompressibility)), and a memory layer (a decaying trail / hysteresis). The active render stack is metaballs, field-lines, heatmap, particles.

A target state sits as a stable gravity well: as the user tunes, the current config moves toward or away from coherence, and over-tuned or contradictory settings add pressure that pushes it back out.

Without motion: the target is a labelled meter; current config shows its distance and whether it sits in the recommended range
