A generator for an animation that renders reality in terms of perceptual phenomena and awareness

REALITY MODEL
A model of reality a stream of sensory impressions, observed, filtered by circle-of-awareness (...curated and mapped by intellect...???????????)
A bubble, colored, gently trembling, humming.. grows from nothing, expanding and fading into reality It grows for a bit, sits there pulsating for a bit, then shrinks away.
A number (5? 100?) of objects like this. Clumps of them. All different colors (sight=green, sound==yellow, ....) and sizes (intensity/visibility)... Packed and/or scattered into the viewport, grouped by type more or less
Sortof a fast-motion flowerbed (in florida. no cold season)
There is a movable viewport onto this seething flowerbed too. The circle of awareness. It is fuzzy-edged, thus rendering the the fuzzy edge of awareness. We might sharpen it to illustrate concentration.
Phenomena within the circle are visible. Phenomena outside it are invisible. Consider the fuzzy edge too
will the bubble squish around? It would be more natural. get a bubble-packing algorithm the bubbles will be circles. They will grow, shrink... maybe vibrate They tend to bump and press on each other, so we have that kind of physics going on.
################################ HOW WE'RE GONNA DO IT, 05/31/2019 ################################ Verlet physics blobs attracted to center of viewport growing out of nothing, lingering, vibrating, possibly humming, then dwindling to nothing geometrically : a blob grows from a point, pressing against its neighbors if necessary, stops growing, maintains its size for a while, then shrinks to nothing graphically : some kind of fade-in. Then strobes and stuff.
################################ OPTION THE DEPTHS OF A PHENOMENON ################################
If we render concentrating your awareness upon a phenomenon, we will look very closely at a single phenomenon. What will be revealed when we look closely like that? What will the graphics be like?
- More phenomena within it? Aome kind of pattern of phenomena>
- can we use forsythia in this?
################################ OPTION TEXTUAL NARRATIVE STREAM PARALLEL TO THE GRAPHICS ################################
So you have this slow graceful froth of bubbles growing and shrinking. Different colors, rates, sizes, wiggles, tones, etc.
Along the bottom you could have a written narrative flowing by, explaining what we're seeing.
---Example 1
GRAPHICS A yellow vibrating disk with a brassy tone grows into existence, hangs out for 5 seconds, then dwindles and fades till it's gone.
ACCOMPANYING TEXTSTREAM NARRATIVE Standing by the road, a car approaches from the left, passes, and leaves to the right.
In this case the graphics describe the sound of that car (tho they could describe its visual impression too I suppose).
---Example 2
GRAPHICS The circle of awareness suddenly moves to center an focus upon a particular green bubble
ACCOMPANYING TEXTSTREAM NARRATIVE A naked woman suddenly appears
Our process would become
- create random event (at appropriate frequency, form, etc)
- goto 1
