The Microscope
Zoom from colony (1×) to individual promises (25×) to the quantum state inside each cell (100×). At maximum zoom you can see the Autonomy Fraction: 75% of each cell is autonomous, 25% is structurally coupled.
Promise Physarum
Data-driven slime mold simulation where Lindblad parameters from institutional and biological systems drive organism behavior.

8 organisms. 1 equation.
Each dish contains a slime mold simulation driven by real data. The top row is colored and pulsing — these are cooperative systems where Drift Rate (γ_dec) > 0. The bottom row is grey and inert — Theater, where Drift Rate = 0.
A mushroom and the International Monetary Fund grow the same way.
Features
Live Parameters
Drag the Drift Rate slider to zero and watch a cooperative organism go grey. That's the cooperation diagnostic in real time.
The Glossary
Every parameter has three names: physics notation for papers, Promise Names for humans, and plain descriptions for everyone. Press ? to see them all.
