Scenarios
Step through the story, or build your own with the switches below.
Cross-web couplers
Knobs
Abundance scales how many of the coupler organisms you stock — push it up and
the slow detrital modes pile toward zero (marginal). Producer area is the feeding lever:
endotherms (the duck) are calorie-expensive, so a consumer-heavy web needs more leaf to keep
the crew fed.
Eigenvalue spectrum (per day) — baseline ghosted
Left of the dashed line is stable. Filled dots = this web; faint rings =
the disjoint baseline. Watch the rightmost dot (the verdict) and how
far it sits from zero — that distance is the return rate.
Active cross-web bridges
Keystones — who moves the web when pressed (normalised)
From −J⁻¹ (Bender press perturbation). Intermingling often shifts the keystone:
add the soil predator and it becomes the lever the whole web hangs on.
