Intent Magnet
pull likely actions toward the user's current context
Running the actual pattern live via applyPattern() — switch the substrate, stack overlays, watch the signals, or reverse the dynamics. Not a mock.
"Intent Magnet" — pull likely actions toward the user's current context. It has a gravity layer (universal attraction toward mass), a memory layer (a decaying trail / hysteresis), a link layer (ropes / cloth between neighbours), and a cohesion layer (flocking — pull toward neighbours). The active render stack is links, field-lines, dots, particles.
Current focus, history, and task state become a gentle gravity center that draws likely next actions closer; memory weights what worked before while cohesion keeps related actions together, assisting without taking control.
