✨ anima-experience

Anima Experience — realtime mutual-information visualizer · HF Space · 60 fps emergence demo · client-side · zero roundtrip

mutual-information · entropy · emergence · canvas · 60fps · client-side · static · no-python

---

anima-experience is a 60 fps client-side port of byte_emergence_demo.py. Two byte streams flow through a coupled sine-wave engine; mutual information rises as the streams bind. Pure HTML / Canvas / JS — server roundtrip 0, no Python runtime.

Note

Companion to dancinlab/anima (consciousness/soul research code, source of byte_emergence_demo.py). Dual-remote: pushes to GitHub (origin) AND HuggingFace Spaces (hf).

Math

emergence = H(L) + H(R) − H(L, R)   (bits)

• Independent random → emergence ≈ 0 (no binding)
• Engine-coupled → emergence > 0 (integrated information)

Tech

• Static HF Space (sdk: static) — first paint < 1 s, no cold start, no Python runtime.
• Vanilla JS — setInterval 30 fps tick over a 250-sample rolling buffer.
• Engine: shared sin(t) + individual gaussian-ish noise per stream. L = (1−c)·noiseL + c·sin(t), R = (1−c)·noiseR + c·sin(t). High coupling collapses both streams onto the diagonal — the scatter aligns cleanly.
• 12-bin histogram entropy over [−1.5, +1.5]. EMERGENT badge shows only when MI > 0.30 (opacity:0 + visibility:hidden otherwise — fully gone).

Status

• live on HuggingFace Spaces — https://huggingface.co/spaces/dancinlab/anima-experience
• static sdk · single index.html · zero build step
• 60 fps target on commodity laptop GPU
• dual-remote: origin (GitHub) + hf (HuggingFace Space)

Install

No install. It's a static page — clone and open index.html, or visit the HF Space.

git clone https://github.com/dancinlab/anima-experience.git
cd anima-experience
open index.html   # macOS · or `xdg-open` / drag into browser

Run

# local preview
open index.html

# or serve over HTTP (any static server)
python3 -m http.server 8000
# → http://localhost:8000

# push to BOTH remotes (GitHub + HuggingFace Space)
git push origin main
git push hf main
