An interactive art-research experiment treats a polycule as a graph whose relationships must be scheduled under competing attention demands.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The project formalizes interpersonal attention as a periodic scheduling instance: relationships carry frequencies such as every 3 or every 5 beats, while a maximal-matching scheduler attends the most urgent edges. A beat is defined as fifteen minutes, and the page describes a sixteen-participant instance with twelve claimed positions and four still at large. It also shows a table of the six worst waits. The current page identifies itself as a design mock and says its interactive machinery is not wired.
