Drift Foley

Explore sound foley as a graph with a quantum walk that biases toward the next best step for animators.

The hook.

full primer โ†’

Sound foley is laid out as a graph; a quantum walker explores it and lights up the most promising next step for filmmakers to take.

Why this primitiveQuantum walk is the right primitive here because sound foley reduces to a graph exploration problem; the kernel returns a result you can drop straight into the UI.

Kernel
a discrete-time quantum walk on a small graph returning a probability distribution over nodes after t steps
Drives the UI as
an animated graph where node opacity reflects walk probability
