physics
Electric Field
You exist in fields of influence you cannot see, but their effects shape every moment of your digital life.

physics
Coulomb's Law
The force between charged particles weakens with distance—but in the attention economy, your data creates fields that never decay.
physics
Electric Charge
In physics, opposite charges attract—in surveillance capitalism, you are the charge being pulled toward platforms that feed on your polarity.
physics
Phase Transition
You don't notice the exact moment water becomes ice—and you won't notice the moment your attention becomes a commodity.
physics
Planck's Law
Every emission has a cost, every observation changes what's observed, and in the attention economy, you are the black body radiating data.
physics
Black Body Radiation
You absorb everything, emit everything, and the temperature of your attention economy is rising.
physics
Wien's Law
The hotter something burns, the bluer its light—and the platforms know exactly what temperature keeps you scrolling.
physics
Radiation
Every interaction you have online emits something into the void—and unlike light, this radiation never stops traveling.
physics
Conduction
Heat moves through contact, through touch, through the places where one thing meets another—and so does your data.
physics
Thermal Expansion
Everything grows when heated—metals, gases, your digital footprint under the heat of constant surveillance.
