How the simulation works

The engine is deterministic. Same inputs, same outputs. Here is what happens between you adding a coffee and the cortisol curve updating.

The five steps

    1. Inputs — your timeline + profile are read
    1. Decomposition — each compound broken into receptor binding profile
    1. Receptor graph — bindings propagate through downstream signals
    1. Time series — values computed across the simulation duration
    1. Render — signals plotted, meters updated, heatmap colored

What you control

  • Inputs (timeline)
  • Profile (subject)
  • Grid resolution + duration (computation knobs)
