Use the manual slider to hand-feed signal values and watch the smoothed trace respond slowly — that lag is Charlie working. The mode history bar at the bottom shows the temporal pattern of decisions. The waveform distinguishes raw signal (blue, noisy) from Charlie’s smoothed output (colored by mode). The φ⁻¹ threshold line is the gate. Everything below it is noise wearing a costume.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
