In physics, nothing happens smoothly—energy moves in discrete packets, and so does your attention in the digital void.
Every emission has a cost, every observation changes what's observed, and in the attention economy, you are the black body radiating data.
You absorb everything, emit everything, and the temperature of your attention economy is rising.
The hotter something burns, the bluer its light—and the platforms know exactly what temperature keeps you scrolling.
Every surface radiates energy proportional to the fourth power of its temperature—and so do you, broadcasting your attention across the digital void.
Every interaction you have online emits something into the void—and unlike light, this radiation never stops traveling.
Heat rises, carrying everything with it—including your data, your attention, and the invisible currents that shape what you see.
Heat moves through contact, through touch, through the places where one thing meets another—and so does your data.
Everything grows when heated—metals, gases, your digital footprint under the heat of constant surveillance.
How your attention moves through membranes you never agreed to cross, following gradients you didn't create.
