Light Contrast Visualiser

Camera brightness and contrast drive the symbolic flow.

This version works like the mic system, but uses light. Camera frames are sampled for average brightness and contrast. Brightness acts like epsilon, contrast acts like instability.

How to use it: point the camera at low-contrast surfaces, shadows, strong edges, a window, a lamp, or moving hands. Flat light keeps the system calmer; high contrast pushes mutation.

Symbol legend:
• dot = seed / minimal state
• circle = closure / contained state
• ringdot = centered seed / self-reference
• triangle = direction / emergence
• square = structure / frame
• diamond = transition / reorientation
• split = binary fork / paired relation

System:
stream = evolving sequence
node = convergence point
contrast zone = perturbation field
feedback = return / memory

Cyan/teal = source streams, gold/rose = convergence nodes, violet = feedback paths, dashed boxes = contrast zones. Live camera preview is embedded in the upper-right box.
