Cymatics (from Ancient Greek: κῦμα, romanized: kŷma, lit. 'wave') is a subset of modal vibrational phenomena. The term was coined by Swiss physician Hans Jenny (1904–1972). Typically the surface of a plate, diaphragm, or membrane is vibrated, and regions of maximum and minimum displacement are made visible in a thin coating of particles, paste, or liquid.[1] Different patterns emerge in the excitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency.

Anthropic released an experiment with Claude where instead of generating functional software, you would interact with Claude and it would "pretend" the software was real, simulating functionality on demand.
It would generate actions in real time as you interacted with it, keeping a mental model of how the software should behave in its context.
I think this idea will become more important over time.
A good name for it might be "Conceptware". A distinct combination of hardware and software that is entirely composed of simulated concepts instead of concrete implementations of software.
Websim has always had some prescience. I can't help but feel like this is the way things are moving, little pockets of the world being built out with just a magic phrase.
We're early, and this is just the beginning, but the idea is there. The barrier to entry gets lower, and the ceiling of creation gets higher. That means the floor gets lower as well.
As I build out #Plurcast more, the power of #Nostr only continues to shine through. Creating a test account for Nostr is as simple as could be, in fact, I could easily generate a new test account for every published note. This would be an interesting experimental feature, essentially sacrificing community for greater anonymity.
Testing for #Mastodon and #Bluesky is a different story. I have to do some form of KYC, linking emails to things (even disallowing disposable emails) even though I don't intend on keeping them.
