SYNTHPETS consists of digital creatures presented as responsive artificial lifeforms.
The entities appear in states of minimal movement, using simple gestures such as head tilts, surface shifts and soft behavioral cues.
Interaction is structured through predictable response loops between viewer input and programmed behavior.
The creatures do not initiate contact. All activity is reactive.
Viewer attention tends to stabilize around specific forms of repetition and softness.
Attachment behaviors are frequently observed.
The system produces consistent engagement without requiring reciprocal presence.
SYNTHPETS continues from earlier systemic work developed in Supermono.
The focus shifts from structural systems to proximity-based interaction models.
The entities remain active in controlled simulation environments.
