"Navigation Current" — make routes, breadcrumbs, and likely next paths feel connected. It has a fieldflow layer (solar prominences, aurora, plasma streams, guided matter), a stream layer (flow matter along a heading), a memory layer (a decaying trail / hysteresis), a propagate layer (travelling waves through the medium), and a link layer (ropes / cloth between neighbours). Matter follows the field geometry because of fieldflow, not the field-owning force itself. The active render stack is streamlines, field-lines, links, trails, particles.

Magnetism bends the route, fieldflow carries the traveller along it — the active path emits a current while prior routes linger as memory.

Metrics

current memory signal route-strength current, signal, route-strength are host-supplied lanes — drive them with data-field-<metric> (or a domain model); without that, their --field-* stays inert.

Diagnostics

Reduced motion

an active-path rail with visited markers and next-step hints

Without motion

the route reads as an ordered breadcrumb list with visited and next-step labels
