feat: Concept Token Pairs + Spatial Grounding (Silvester/New Year sessions)
Major additions from Silvester 2025 and New Year 2026 sessions: Concept Token Pairs (architecture/future/concept-token-pairs.md): - Theoretical paper on navigable reasoning spaces - Opposites create axes, not just mode switches - "Punkt vor Strich" for AI reasoning - Escape velocity from degeneration loops - NEW: Spatial Grounding section linking to physical nimmerhovel Architecture updates: - Endgame-Vision.md: v6.2 alignment - Big-Picture.md: v5.2 alignment - Modular-Organism-Design.md: conical interlocking mechanism New files: - SEEDS.md: Research seeds for future exploration - Temporal-Firework-Visualization.md: Temporal data viz concept Key insight from 2026-01-01 session: "Don't train the answer. Train the space where answers live." → "Don't imagine the space. MEASURE it." Spatial embeddings from nimmerhovel hardware (8× ESP32-S3 AI CAM, Pi HQ Camera, Discovery Scan Station) can ground concept pairs in physical reality, not just symbolic patterns. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Temporal Firework Visualization
|
||||
|
||||
**Origin**: Silvester 2025 - Watching fireworks over Basel
|
||||
**Insight**: Message flow as descending light strains, time as scrubber
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## The Vision
|
||||
|
||||
Watching New Year's fireworks, a visualization metaphor emerged:
|
||||
|
||||
**Each firework strain = a topic channel flowing with the heartbeat**
|
||||
- Sparks descending = individual messages
|
||||
- Nodes = committed events (decisions, state changes)
|
||||
- Branching = interaction spawns new attention focus
|
||||
- Fading = inactivity → branch dissolves back to root
|
||||
- Root never stops = heartbeat is eternal
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Visual Language
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
╭─ interaction branch
|
||||
│ ├─ spark (message)
|
||||
│ ├─ spark (message)
|
||||
│ ├─ NODE ← committed event
|
||||
│ │ ╰─ response branch
|
||||
│ │ ├─ spark spark spark
|
||||
│ │ ╰─ NODE ← response complete
|
||||
│ ╰─ (fades after timeout)
|
||||
════════════════╪═══════════════════════════════════════
|
||||
│ root heartbeat
|
||||
╭──────────┴──────────╮ (always flowing)
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
nimmerverse.low.* nimmerverse.high.*
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Elements:**
|
||||
- **Strain**: Vertical flow of messages on a topic, pulsing with heartbeat
|
||||
- **Spark**: Single message, ephemeral light point
|
||||
- **Node**: Significant event - larger, brighter, persists
|
||||
- **Branch**: New topic/subscription spawning from interaction
|
||||
- **Fade**: Branch dissolving when attention moves elsewhere
|
||||
- **Root**: The eternal heartbeat flow, never stops
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Time Axis: The Scrubber
|
||||
|
||||
Add horizontal time axis → the visualization becomes navigable history.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||

══════╪═════════╪════╪══════════════════════════════════╪══

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Capabilities:**
|
||||
- **Live view**: Watch messages flow in real-time
|
||||
- **Scrub**: Drag timeline to any past moment
|
||||
- **Jump to node**: Click a node to see its full metadata
|
||||
- **Follow branch**: Trace an interaction's cascade
|
||||
- **Query**: "Show me all corvid events on Flachdach, December 2025"
|
||||

|

|
||||
## Node Inspection
|
||||
|
||||
Clicking a node reveals its full context:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||

## Integration Points
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Role |
|
||||
|-----------|------|
|
||||
| S2 Cell ID | Spatial position of the event |
|
||||
| Timestamp | Temporal position on scrubber |
|
||||
| correlation_id | Links related events across branches |
|
||||
| object_refs | Enables "show me all events for this object" |
|
||||
| Phoebe | Stores queryable event history |
|
||||
| Godot Command Center | Renders the visualization |
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Lineage
|
||||
|
||||
This document evolves the **Temporal Graph** concept from [Command-Center.md](../../../../management-portal/Command-Center.md):
|
||||
|
||||
| Command-Center (Dec 10) | Firework Visualization (Dec 31) |
|
||||
|-------------------------|--------------------------------|
|
||||
| `°` = Tier 1 node | NODE = committed event |
|
||||
| `°°` = Branch | Branch spawning on interaction |
|
||||
| Vertical = time | Time axis with scrubber |
|
||||
| "Replay mode" (future) | Full scrubber + node inspection + S2 spatial |
|
||||
|
||||
The firework metaphor adds:
|
||||
- Visual language inspired by actual fireworks (Silvester)
|
||||
- Time scrubber for navigating history
|
||||
- S2 spatial integration for location-aware queries
|
||||
- Rich node inspection with metadata
|
||||
- Branch fade-out on inactivity
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Notes
|
||||
|
||||
**Godot rendering approach:**
|
||||
- Particle systems for spark trails
|
||||
- Line2D/Line3D for strains with glow shader
|
||||
- AnimationPlayer for branch fade-outs
|
||||
- Time scrubber as UI slider controlling query window
|
||||
- WebSocket/NATS connection for live updates
|
||||
|
||||
**Query patterns:**
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
-- All events in time window
|
||||
SELECT * FROM events
|
||||
WHERE timestamp BETWEEN :start AND :end
|
||||
ORDER BY timestamp;
|
||||
|
||||
-- Events at specific location over time
|
||||
SELECT * FROM events
|
||||
WHERE s2_cell BETWEEN :cell_range_start AND :cell_range_end
|
||||
ORDER BY timestamp;
|
||||
|
||||
-- Follow a correlation chain
|
||||
SELECT * FROM events
|
||||
WHERE correlation_id = :id
|
||||
ORDER BY timestamp;
|
||||
```
|
||||

## Philosophy
|
||||
|
||||
> "This is git for perception."
|
||||
|
||||
Git lets you rewind code to any commit. This lets you rewind *experience* to any moment. Not just logs - **visual replay of embodied AI consciousness**.
|
||||
|
||||
When Young Nyx makes a decision, we can scrub back and watch:
|
||||
- What did she see?
|
||||
- What messages reached her?
|
||||
- What branches spawned and faded?
|
||||
- Why did this node trigger that response?
|
||||
|
||||
**Debugging through observation, not just reading.**
