Wyrdness turns patterns in randomness into light. Try it on your own or share a screen with friends: meditate, set an intention, have a conversation, and see what you notice.
Inspired by the Wyrd Light, this independent, unaffiliated project compares two streams of browser-generated random bits (0s and 1s). It uses your browser's cryptographic random generator, not a quantum source or a sensor.
Brighter blooms generally reflect patterns that are less common in our random-data simulations. Stronger blooms move toward white, and an unusually strong pattern can trigger an expanding ring. Interesting patterns, including bright blooms and rings, happen by chance too. The app deliberately avoids rapid white strobing.
Gentle background colour, breathing and drift are decorative. Detectors look back through up to about two minutes of active sampling; colour and brightness then ease toward the signal over seconds. The light is a flowing view of recent patterns, rather than an instant response.
The swirling motion follows a smoothed Pearson correlation coefficient. When strong enough, it spins clockwise for positive correlation and counter-clockwise for negative correlation.
Sensitivity controls how readily a pattern becomes the named colour. It does not change the overall probability estimate or ring threshold:
Some researchers explore connections between attention, intention and random systems. Pick a colour and a short time window before you begin, or alternate periods of shared focus and rest. Press E to mark the transitions, then use H to look back together. Notice the quiet stretches as well as the exciting ones. Colours appear at different rates, so trying each one can be interesting in its own way.
Demo gives you a quick tour of the effects; normal sampling pauses during it and starts fresh afterward. Sampling also pauses in hidden tabs. Your history stays in this tab until you save it; reloading clears it.
