"Review Pressure" — surface items needing review before they decay, expire, or block work. It has a gravity layer (universal attraction toward mass), a pressure layer (relax crowding (incompressibility)), a memory layer (a decaying trail / hysteresis), a morph layer (assemble matter into a mark/shape (never words, §11)), and a thermal layer (agitate matter at a temperature). The active render stack is heatmap, metaballs, particles, dots.

Items build gravitational priority as the weak pull of age and pressure accumulates; thermal stands in for rising entropy so high-risk or blocked work surfaces on its own while low-risk stays calm.

Metrics

Reduced motion

a review queue ranking with urgency badges and age markers

Without motion

pressure becomes a sorted review queue where age and risk are explicit badges per item
