Focus Well

Gather the field toward whatever the operator or an agent is currently focused on, and let it relax as that attention goes stale.

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

"Focus Well" — Gather the field toward whatever the operator or an agent is currently focused on, and let it relax as that attention goes stale.. It has a attract layer (draw matter into a focus / well). The active render stack is heatmap.

Runtime tokens: attract draw matter into a focus / well
Concepts: focus staleness
Metrics: salience a semantic lane — drive it with data-field-<metric> (or a domain model); without that its --field-<metric> stays inert salience is a host-supplied lane — drive it with data-field-<metric> (or a domain model); without that, its --field-* stays inert.
Diagnostics: inspector
Conditions: focused dwell threshold
Render: heatmap
Reduced motion: The top-salience entity takes a static in-focus marker (aria-current) and keeps its focusState rank; nothing travels or converges.
Without motion: Focus reads as an explicit ranked, source-labelled list — the focusState() sharp-tip digest. The meaning IS the list; nothing depends on the animated well.
