Toolnew CAMS 3D Civilisational Attractor Space National histories plotted as far‑from‑equilibrium metabolic trajectories in M · Y · Λ phase space. Nations trace an attractor state space on a thermodynamic slope — crisis at the floor, peak years at the apex — as they move through growth, consolidation, crisis and renewal. 11 nations · interactive 3D · 1800–2026. Toolnew Social Cognition in Real Time The eight CAMS nodes as exteriorised sub-brains, each firing on σ = A·C·(K−S). Play the timeline and watch the distributed institutional mind coordinate, desynchronise, and go dark. 15 nations · canvas instrument · 1800–2026. Toolbeta CAMS Advanced Analysis In-browser deep-dive into derived CAMS metrics — dDIG (dynamic Δ in governance), Dyad Fields 𝒫(t)/𝒴(t), Phase-Space Attractors, and coordination headroom. No upload needed; loads the CAMS index directly. Toolnew CAMS Global Stress Dashboard Observed-only readout of the 8-node × 4-metric CAMS matrix — 32 societies across six world regions. Active pathology signatures, Λ coordination index, historical analogue matching. No projection. Toolnew CAMS Historical Telescope CAMS models societies as 8-node institutional networks and tracks four vital metrics — cohesion, capacity, stress, abstraction — across them.
