A different tree.
The same wind.

Change what it is.
Nothing stops moving.

Shared conditions. Your own interpretation.

My hypothesis: AI can help us build deterministic representations of a world, then let us change that world without asking AI again.

Here, a shared wind passes through an oak, a willow and a pine. The branches, leaves and shadows change together. Your device runs the rules.

Could thousands of these reality lenses give each of us a different world built from shared inputs? This tree is a first test.

One small engine.

Structure, movement and appearance share a seeded branch map. Its spring motion is an approximation for this artwork, not a botanical simulation.

Timing appears after the scene starts.

Frame timing includes your browser’s refresh interval. Phone performance has not been measured on physical devices. This is the first version of the experiment.
