1. PROJECT SNAPSHOT (CURRENT STATE)

Project description (current):

Symbiotic Loop is a bio-responsive ecosystem connecting a living plant, a robotic plant, and human presence through sound, light, and physical manifestation. Biological and environmental signals are translated into slow, evolving behaviors rather than direct interactions or visualizations.

Current focus:

• Computational core defined
• Sound and light behaviors in development
• Living plant ↔ robotic plant loop established conceptually and technically

Active plan:

• Plan B (embedded system: Pure Data + sound + material light)
• Plan A kept as expanded rendering option (TouchDesigner + projections)

This snapshot is updated as the project evolves.

2. CORE CONCEPT

The project is structured around a non-linear feedback loop:

• The living plant senses (biological activity and environment).
