NODES

• 20 glowing orbs, each representing a real pioneer in tech.
• They float gently with soft boundary physics.

CONNECTIONS

• Lines form between nodes within 185px.
• Colour blends of both node colours.
• Thickness inversely proportional to distance.
• Data dots travel between activated pairs.

HOVER

• Reveals full name + role in elegant tooltip.
• Node brightens and breathes wider.

CLICK

• Permanently activates a node (turns bright).
• Triggers ripple burst.
• Cascades a glow to all nearby connected nodes.

AUTO-PULSE

• Every 90 frames a random node briefly lights.
• Keeps the network feeling alive.

STRENGTH METER

• Vertical bar on left tracks % of activated nodes.
• Milestone messages appear at 25/50/75/100%.
• Network nebula brightens as strength grows.

NEBULA

• 4 drifting ambient colour blobs in background.
• Intensity increases with network strength.
