Implement Theme & Global Styles
As a user I want to see a consistent sunny-minimalism theme across all pages. Implement the global CSS design tokens (--primary: #2C2C2C, --bg: #F9F5E9, --secondary: #FFB400, --accent: #FF6B35, --surface: rgba(255,255,255,0.98), --text_muted: #A6A6A6, --border, --font_family: Inter). Set up the living echo / ripple animation as the page-level background signature concept. Remove scaffold pages not in the project (welcome page, ai-assistant page, settings page). Align all existing scaffold pages to the design token system. This task must be completed before all page implementation tasks.

Implement API client layer (axios/fetch with JWT token injection), error handling, and loading states across Dashboard, Simulations, Visualizations, Scenarios, Results, and Profile pages.
Discover Echoes
Explore the delicate intersection of minimalism and kaiku — where subtle patterns emerge, beliefs update, and echoes reveal hidden truths about complexity.
Experience the Echo
Tap anywhere on the canvas to create ripples and watch how echoes propagate, interact, and gracefully fade — just like patterns in complex systems.
Each ripple represents a kaiku — an echo that carries information outward. As ripples expand and overlap, they mirror how Bayesian beliefs propagate and update through evidence, revealing patterns hidden in apparent noise.
Tools for Clarity and Discovery
Explore the intersection of minimalism, echo patterns, and Bayesian reasoning through hands-on, interactive experiences.
Interactive Simulations
Experiment with dynamic models of kaiku (echo) and minimalism. Adjust parameters in real time and observe how subtle patterns emerge from simplicity.
Start simulating→Bayesian Inference Viz
Visualize belief updating in action. Watch priors transform into posteriors as new evidence arrives, making abstract probability tangible and intuitive.
Explore visuals→Guided Scenarios
Follow curated learning paths that help you distinguish genuine echoes from random noise. Perfect for educators and curious minds exploring at their own pace.
View scenarios→The Living Echo Visualization
At the heart of sunny-minimalism lies a single, powerful metaphor: the ripple. Every interaction generates an echo that radiates outward, carries meaning through space, and eventually fades into silence. This transient lifecycle mirrors how ideas propagate through belief systems — emerging with clarity, traveling through complexity, and dissolving into understanding.
Our minimalistic design philosophy strips away visual noise to reveal what matters most. By reducing the interface to its essential elements, each echo becomes unmistakable. The absence of clutter is not emptiness — it is intentional space that lets patterns speak for themselves.
The kaiku (echo) is inherently transient. It exists only in the moment of its propagation, a fleeting signal that rewards attentive observation. This impermanence is by design: genuine patterns reveal themselves through repetition, while noise dissipates naturally. Bayesian inference becomes not just a tool but a way of seeing.

Bayesian inference updates beliefs by combining prior knowledge with new evidence. As you collect more observations, the posterior distribution converges toward the most likely hypothesis, helping you distinguish genuine echoes from random noise.
Your Journey in Four Steps
From first ripple to shared discovery — explore, learn, experiment, and connect through the echo of minimalism.

In the stillness of less, we begin to hear the kaiku — the echo of patterns too subtle for a cluttered mind to perceive.
Minimalism is not merely an aesthetic choice — it is a cognitive tool. By stripping away the unnecessary, we sharpen our ability to detect genuine signals amidst noise. The sunny-minimalism platform embodies this principle, using Bayesian inference to help you update your beliefs and uncover the faintest echoes of superintelligence hidden within complex systems.
