You clicked a button. The app responded with points, bright UI, and identity‑loaded language. That combination quietly pushes you to repeat the behavior.
Under the hood, this prototype mimics
variable‑ratio reinforcement — the same schedule used in slot machines, social feeds, and high‑performing loyalty programs.
This demo is for awareness and education, not exploitation. The same mechanics can also be used for prosocial habits: workouts, learning, saving, deep work, or any behavior you want to deliberately reinforce instead of being trained by default.
