👨‍👩‍👧 Family Emotional System: 2D Network Model

Interactive 2D model of a family as an emotional system after Bowen family systems theory. Anxiety spreads along bonds, well-differentiated members damp it, conflict strains bonds towards emotional cutoff, and strained pairs triangulate a third member. Click a person to shock them, drag people apart to weaken bonds, and watch the live anxiety and cohesion graph.
