ABOUT

Attention Field
v0.30.80 · Beta

A live map of online attention

Every dot is an observed story, post, article or trending term pulled from public feeds. The map is rebuilt around shared topics — items talking about the same thing cluster together, regardless of which platform they came from.

Read first

Yellow rises, black is present, grey fades. Numbered story labels mark top observed stories and can be clicked like their dots. Rings mark memory/remnant; rule-marked labels mark cross-source convergence. The header separates rendered field nodes from the full recorder snapshot.

Thesis

This is not a trend ranking. It shows observed attention life-cycles: birth, burn, convergence, drift, memory and remnant. It is not prediction; it is descriptive, not predictive, and it does not claim causality.
