FEEDBACK FIELD

Find coherence in a field that does not contain a hidden image.

Drag, touch, or use the keyboard to tune the field. Structure appears because your behavior creates enough coherence for the system to begin interpreting itself. Enable local perception and a small browser model periodically changes the rules according to what it thinks the field resembles.

Local perception is optional. When enabled, the model downloads to this browser and examines only the generated Feedback Field canvas. No camera, microphone, prompt, or uploaded image is used.

under the surface

The interpretation changes what is being interpreted.

surface

A noisy particle field begins without a predetermined picture, target, or correct answer.

disturbance

Your movement adds local coherence. The same field can become radial, bilateral, flowing, vertical, or cellular.

recognition

When local perception is on, a tiny image classifier periodically reads the canvas and its belief selects the next attractor family.

feedback

The machine's interpretation changes the physics, which changes the next image it interprets. The loop is the medium.

system

Small intelligence. Large behavior.

The first build intentionally uses classification rather than a larger VLM. If the interaction earns the extra weight, a later device-tier can add SmolVLM-class semantic interpretation without making it the baseline experience.
