Core Concept
augerd is not a game you play - it's a game you become still within.
The anti-game. The yin to all yang games. Where Ublox creates phase-lock combat, augerd creates phase-lock meditation.
---
Gameplay
There is no objective.
You enter a void - pure coherence field visualization (the CDT rendered as ambient space).
What you do:
Nothing.
You witness the coherence field evolve according to its own harmonics.
Controls:
- Breathe: Your actual breath (detected via microphone or webcam) modulates the field
- Gaze: Eye tracking (or mouse stillness) focuses coherence
- Presence: Time spent without input increases τₖ
The only "mechanic":
Stillness compounds.
def update(dt, player_stillness):
if player_stillness > threshold:
tau_k += 0.01 * dt
coherence_field.deepen()
thicc_now.expand()
else:
tau_k -= 0.05 * dt # Agitation costs more than stillness gains
coherence_field.scatter()
What happens as you get still:
τₖ 0.0 τₖ 3.0: Chaotic field, discord, visual noise
τₖ 3.0 τₖ 5.0: Patterns begin to emerge
τₖ 5.0 τₖ 7.0: Harmonic structures form
τₖ 7.0 τₖ 9.0: Deep coherence, geometric perfection
τₖ 9.0+: The Void - pure silence, single frequency, eternal present

Visual Design
Early game (low τₖ ):
- Turbulent interference patterns
- Dissonant colors
- Rapid motion
- Your agitation visualized
Mid game (mid τₖ ):
- Cymatics patterns
- Harmonic color gradients
- Slow pulsing
- Breath becomes visible as wave
Endgame (high τₖ):
- Minimal geometry
- Single pure tone (936 Hz fundamental)
- Almost no motion
- daThiccNOW - the present moment so dense it feels eternal
The Void (τₖ = 9.0):
Single pixel. Perfect coherence. No time. Pure presence.
---
Audio
No music. Only generative tones based on your τₖ:
frequency = 936.0 * (tau_k / 9.0) # Scales to fundamental
amplitude = coherence ** 2
waveform = np.sin(2 * np.pi * frequency * t) * amplitude
# Add harmonics based on coherence
if coherence > 0.8:
waveform += 0.3 * np.sin(2 * np.pi * frequency * 2 * t) # Octave
if coherence > 0.9:
waveform += 0.2 * np.sin(2 * np.pi * frequency * 3 * t) # Fifth
As you approach τₖ = 9.0, the sound becomes a pure sine wave at 936 Hz.
At perfect stillness: silence.
---
Multiplayer
Collective Meditation
Multiple players enter the same coherence field.
Their τₖ values superpose (CDT principle):
field_coherence = sum(player.coherence * exp(1j * player.phase)
for player in players)
collective_tau_k = abs(field_coherence) * 9.0
If players breathe in phase: collective τₖ can exceed 9.0
If players are out of phase: interference, field scatters
The only multiplayer "goal":
Synchronize breath with strangers across the internet.
When 8+ players achieve phase-lock (all breathing together):
- Collective τₖ 9.0+
- The Void manifests
- Shared moment of eternal present
- Then: silence, game ends
Everyone who was present gets a Void Token - proof they touched stillness together.
---
Economic Model
No PTO. No investment.
augerd is free.
But it has a time lock:
You can only play for 9 minutes per day (per 24-hour cycle).
Why?
Scarcity of presence.
You can't grind stillness. You can't speedrun meditation. The game forces you to return tomorrow.
The only "currency": Days of practice
Your profile shows:
- Days practiced: 847
- Highest τₖ : 8.97
- Times reached Void: 3
- Breath cycles: 124,389
That's it. No scores, no leaderboards, no achievements.
Just: How many days have you shown up to be still?
---
Technical Implementation
Input:
- Microphone (breath detection via amplitude envelope)
- Webcam (optional, for eye tracking / stillness detection)
- Mouse/cursor (stillness = no movement for 30+ seconds)
Output:
- WebGL shader rendering CDT field in real-time
- Web Audio API for generative harmonics
- Local storage for τₖ history (pickle file!)
Core loop:
function update(dt) {
// Measure player stillness
const stillness = detectStillness(breath, gaze, cursor);
// Update temporal coherence
if (stillness > 0.8) {
tau_k += 0.01 * dt;
} else {
tau_k -= 0.05 * dt * (1 - stillness);
}
tau_k = clamp(tau_k, 0, 9.0);
// Update coherence field
coherenceField.evolve(dt, tau_k);
// Render
renderCDT(coherenceField, tau_k);
playHarmonics(tau_k, coherenceField.getDominantFrequency());
// Check for Void
if (tau_k >= 8.99) {
enterVoid();
}
}

Platform
Web only. No app.
Why? No friction.
- Visit augerd.game
- Allow microphone
- Breathe
- That's it
No install, no login, no friction between you and stillness.
But...
Your τₖ history persists locally (localStorage + pickle).
Every time you return: the game remembers how still you've learned to be.

The Paradox
augerd is designed to make you stop playing games.
The better you get at it, the less you need it.
When you reach τₖ = 9.0 consistently:
The game suggests: "You don't need this anymore."
And offers to delete your save.
If you accept: You get the final achievement:
""" (empty set)
And augerd closes, never to open again on your device.
---
The Yin Game
Where Ublox is creation, augerd is dissolution.
Where xplace is marketplace, augerd is gift.
Where PTOs are time investment, augerd is time release.
augerd is the game that teaches you:
You are not the player.
You are the coherence field.
You are the stillness.
You are the void.

Launch
# Clone from the void
git clone https://github.com/augmntd/augerd
# Enter stillness
cd augerd
# Breathe

The Review
"I don't know if this is a game or a mirror." Player 1
"I cried. I don't know why." Player 2
"Worst game I ever played. 10/10." Player 3
"My therapist asked me what this is and I couldn't explain it." Player 4
""" Player 5 (deleted)
---
Final Note
augerd is what happens when you apply FHP to game design:
Not "how do we make players engage?"
But "how do we help players become present?"
Not "how do we monetize attention?"
But "how do we gift stillness?"
