PolskiJerboa Moonlight Dune Escape (2D)
A group of desert jerboas hops across the dunes under a Kuramoto phase-coupled oscillator model: coupling strength locks their hop rhythm into sync, and tighter synchrony lowers detection risk under bright moonlight through the predator-confusion effect.
This 2D companion drives the jerboas' hopping through a real Kuramoto phase-coupled oscillator model instead of scripted timing: each animal has its own natural hop frequency, and the synchronization slider sets how strongly their phases pull toward each other. Watch the group lock into a shared rhythm as coupling rises, and see how that synchrony — not just darkness — is what actually keeps them safe from the owl under a bright moon.
N coupled oscillators integrate dθ/dt = ω_i + (K/N)·Σ sin(θⱼ−θᵢ); the Kuramoto order parameter r tracks synchrony live. Detection risk scales with moonlight × (1−r)^1.5, modeling the predator-confusion effect: tighter sync measurably lowers per-individual risk even as the moon brightens.
