FIELD REPORT — RESTRICTED

Field Observation Report

DOC: AFOM-2026-FR-001 | OBSERVER: K. | SITE: [BURN — COORDINATES REDACTED]

SUBJECT CLASSIFICATION

E

Subject "Edmundo"

EXPERIENCE DESIGNER, CLASS III — Advanced spatial-temporal light manipulation without software dependency

Installation Alpha: "The Trap"

Installation Beta: "The Breathing Path"

Subject uses analog input devices (keypads, potentiometers, rope) to achieve results our department requires 641 source files for. Recommend immediate recruitment.

Lights that know where they are in space. That's the thing. — K.

Bill of Materials

35x Effect Layers (Aurora, Cloud, Fire, Rain, Strobe, etc.) composable
1x Perlin Noise Field Generator (fBm, spatial) never repeats
14x Weather Atmosphere Presets parameterized
1x Anti-Strobe Safety System (Slew Limiter) IEEE compliant
1x DTLS Streaming Controller (UDP, 50 Hz) sub-20ms
1x Web UI (Mobile-First, LAN) port 5000
8x Emotional Profiles HANDLE WITH CARE
1x Calm-to-Energy Master Knob 0.0 — 1.0
1x BPM Sync Module tap tempo

System Architecture

DO NOT interrupt DTLS streaming session. The Hue Bridge holds exactly ONE entertainment session. Reconnection requires a full handshake. Do not ask how we know this.

Scripted vs. Procedural

Scripted

Repeats exactly. Forever.

VS

Procedural

Never repeats. Ever.

The way lights blink in and out along a path — appearing, fading, leaving you in darkness before returning — that spatial awareness is what got me into this. Different tools. Same fascination.

Noise Field Cross-Section

LIVE — Perlin noise field sampled at 5 light positions. Each light reads its local value. Neighbouring lights share values = organic spatial drift.

One engine. 18 knobs. Infinite weather. The Sky Lab web UI exposes all knobs as live sliders — drag any slider, instant new sky. — K.

CAUTION: Emotional blend "Unresolved" may cause ambient flickering. This is expected behaviour, not a hardware fault. Do not file a bug report.

Named blends include: "Safe Harbor", "Warm Tension", "Thinking Aloud", "The House at Its Best". Each is a unique emotional landscape. — K.

COMPATIBILITY

Output Compatibility Chart

INTERFACE: ILightOutput | PROTOCOL: ANY

YOUR LIGHTS HERE

The engine doesn't care what lights it's driving.
Same 35 effects. Same weather. Same emotion mapping.
Different socket.

Protocol Compatibility Matrix

PROTOCOL	LATENCY	RANGE	STATUS
Hue Entertainment (DTLS/UDP)	<20ms	LAN	ACTIVE
WLED (UDP WARLS/DDP/E1.31)	<5ms	WiFi	PLANNED
Art-Net (DMX over Ethernet)	<10ms	LAN	PLANNED
DMX512 (Serial)	<23ms	Cable	PLANNED

One interface. Implement the output class. Plug in your hardware. All 35 effect layers work instantly. No effect code changes needed. — K.

Keypads

Potentiometers

Pillows

Any physical input device can be mapped to any light parameter at runtime. Keypads, potentiometers, game controllers, Arduino boards — the MappingEngine does not discriminate. It only asks: "what value did you send?"

2,226 controller mappings in gamecontrollerdb.txt. If it has buttons, it can control lights. — K.

CAMP INTERFERENCE

When Camp A chooses "calm storm" and Camp B chooses "electric pulse", the patterns don't cancel — they collide. The forest between them becomes something neither camp chose. Emergent. Unpredictable. Alive.

PHASE 1: KIEZBURN 2027

Minimalistic. A few smart lights. Laptop as brain. One interactive station.
Few lights, big impact. The system scales — start small, prove the magic.
