"Consensus Well" — let agreement gather around stable options or decisions. It has a gravity layer (universal attraction toward mass), a cohesion layer (flocking — pull toward neighbours), a link layer (ropes / cloth between neighbours), a pressure layer (relax crowding (incompressibility)), and a memory layer (a decaying trail / hysteresis). The active render stack is metaballs, links, heatmap, particles.

Options that gather agreement gain mass and pull arguments into a single well; cohesion binds the supporters while pressure exposes fragile, contested consensus instead of false certainty (gravity gathering mass, the strong bind holding it).

Metrics

Without motion

each option shows a numeric support count, a coherence label, and listed dissenting arguments
