🧬 Valence
A dormant world, awakened by touch. Seek life. Avoid harm.
About
Valence explores the moment a neutral world becomes divided into good and bad stimuli - the fundamental breakthrough of emotional valence.
Before your first touch, the world is dormant. All particles drift in undifferentiated gray - no meaning, no distinction. The moment you engage, everything changes: colors bloom, revealing which elements sustain you and which threaten you.
- 🟢 Seek the warm, life-sustaining elements (teal and green)
- 🔴 Avoid the harmful threats (red and crimson)
- 💡 Meaning only emerges through engagement
