The Kleist Spectrum

One body, three states of consciousness. From Kleist's essay on marionette theatre: grace appears where consciousness is either absent or infinite — never in the middle.

puppet (no will) → human (partial will) → god (total will)

Drag the slider. Human mode: Q/W/A/S + O/P/K/L. Space to reset.

Puppet

Strings from above. Physics carries the body. No input needed — the pendulum finds its own grace.

Human

QWOP muscle keys. Your consciousness disrupts the flow. The gap between intent and execution — comedy, struggle.

God

Self-balancing procedural walk. Total awareness equals total grace. The body knows itself.
