Neural Novelty Field

The default mode network — the part of the mind that activates between tasks — is the engine of rumination. It feeds on predictability and stillness.

This field provides gentle, layered, unpredictable variation that softly occupies the attention without demanding it. Three independent visual rhythms drift at irrational timescales — the brain's novelty detection registers each small change and briefly interrupts the ruminative loop.

Let your gaze rest here, or let it sit at the edge of your vision. You don't need to watch, track, or understand anything. The field does its work quietly.
