This canvas-based visualization simulates an emergent consciousness through a neural network, displaying neurons as glowing nodes that activate and form new connections over time. The animation uses Canvas gradients for neuron glow effects and alpha-blended strokes for connection strength. Mouse movement subtly activates nearby neurons, while buttons trigger stimuli and philosophical prompts that generate text responses in a thought stream. Interactive sliders control energy and complexity parameters, which influence the network's activity and learning rate.
