A minimal interactive model for SR2: affect (valence) and arousal tune an organic “field” (flow + particles).
Use it as a sketchpad for mapping emotional state to attention quality and meaning conditions.

How it maps (suggestion):
• Negative affect + high arousal → more jagged flow + higher capture risk (dizziness/compulsion).
• Positive affect + moderate arousal → smoother flow + “deep meaning” capacity.
• Coherence is a stand-in for regulation / kindness-field / boundary stability.
Tip: if it looks frantic, lower arousal or raise coherence and watch the field settle.
