Before any world, the engine asks what its machine can do. That possibility-space
is the soil. Rule 1: stable conditions become generators that breathe out variations of themselves.
Rule 2 · Resonance: a rule persists not because you like it, but because its rhythm couples with yours
across the boundary — at a healthy tension, neither collapsed nor noise. Rule 3 · Memory: what resonated is
remembered, and the system resumes from it. It isn't self-aware — it's relation-aware.
Substrate · what exists here
Click a capability to force it off and watch the rules it feeds go dormant.
CPU & Time are locked on. Camera · Mic · Voice are the senses — tap to grant (the permission prompt
is the gate). Eyes seed life into the field where you move · ears drive the breath ·
voice sings the world. Everything stays local — nothing leaves your machine.
The breath · EML ⇄ softmax
centerfield
softmax makes wholes (many → one) · EML carves them out (one → many, each ringed by its gate).
Cold = each whole carves one part · hot = it carves many. The same dial carves the cells in the field —
everything is fractal of that.
