Three redesigns of the playground UI, each exploring a different
interaction philosophy for the NISPS interactive ML engine:
A) Immersive — fullscreen canvas with floating glassmorphism overlays
B) Workbench — dashboard with 2D mapping heatmap as centerpiece
C) Journey — phased UI that dissolves (Explore → Teach → Perform)
All share the same 126-output MLP ([32,48,64] hidden layers), C15
synth bridge, and flow field visualizer. Each adds:
- SynthVisualizer (126 grouped vertical bars) replacing particles in synth mode
- RL as default learning mode with keyboard shortcuts (1/2)
- Follow mode for trackpad exploration
- ?tame= URL param for safe-range constraining
- localStorage persistence (random on first boot)
- Live iframe previews on designs.html homepage
See devlog/2026-03-21-ui-redesign-explorations.md and meml-2c3 for
remaining refinements identified during browser testing.
