physics
Standing Wave
In the resonant chamber of your digital life, you're not moving forward—you're oscillating in place, trapped between nodes of content that never lets you rest.

physics
Natural Frequency
Every system vibrates at its own frequency—and the algorithms have learned exactly how to make you resonate.
physics
Simple Harmonic Motion
You oscillate between outrage and distraction with the predictable rhythm of a pendulum, and the algorithm knows exactly when you'll swing back.
physics
Orbital Mechanics
You're not scrolling—you're orbiting, trapped in a gravity well of algorithmic attention, where escape velocity costs more than you can afford.
physics
Parabolic Trajectory
Every click you make follows a predetermined arc, and the algorithm already knows where you'll land.
physics
Acceleration
In physics, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity—but in the attention economy, it's the rate at which your autonomy dissolves into algorithmic prediction.
physics
Newton's First Law
An object in motion stays in motion—unless acted upon by the algorithm that knows you better than you know yourself.
