Pairwise Foley

Compare sound foley candidates by quantum fidelity so animators pick the closest match in one tap.

The hook.

full primer β†’

Two sound foley candidates go into a quantum similarity check; the app shows filmmakers a single 0–100% match score so they can pick the closest one in a tap.

Why this primitiveSWAP test is the right primitive here because sound foley reduces to a similarity problem; the kernel returns a result you can drop straight into the UI.

Kernel
a 2-register SWAP-test kernel returning fidelity in [0,1] between two amplitude-encoded vectors
Drives the UI as
a similarity score (0-100%) and a 'closest match' surface
