Educational, fictional nervous system dashboard

Living Substance Simulation

A rule-based visual model of how a fictional person's relief, craving, rebound anxiety, sleep, shakiness risk, and day-to-day stability may shift over time under alcohol use, cannabis use, or both.

Educational only. This is not medical advice, not diagnosis, and not a prediction about any real person.
No real patient data is used here. The model is intentionally simplified and carries visible uncertainty.
Severe withdrawal symptoms, confusion, seizures, chest pain, or a feeling that someone may not be safe need real medical care now.

Current frame

The dashboard stays live as time moves

This is a fictional person. The model does not tell you what will happen in real life. It shows one plausible pattern built from simple rules, not hidden medical precision.

Simulated moment
Day 1, 12:00 AM

Feeling steadier and more able to stay organized.

Relief level
5

Short-term easing, disinhibition, or loosening.

Craving level
12

Pull toward relief and familiar reward timing.

Functional stability
71

Capacity for focus, sleep, routine, and emotional steadiness.

Uncertainty score
49

Higher means the model is less confident and more variable by design.

Relief and rebound

Short-term easing can be followed by a later overshoot into tension.

Relief level
5
Rebound anxiety
31

Craving pressure

Reward expectation can stay high even when the actual reward is fading.

Sleep and panic

Poor recovery sleep often makes fear, startle, and body tension louder.

Sleep disruption

Panic likelihood

Function and shakiness

Repeated alcohol use followed by a stop can erode steadiness fast.

Symptom feed

Event log

The feed fills when the model crosses notable thresholds such as rebound anxiety, rising shakiness risk, cue-trigger craving, and sleep disruption.

Start from familiar patterns

What may be happening

Plain-language explainer

The state is relatively moderate right now. Stress, sleep, hydration, and the familiar timing of past use still shape what happens next.

What the person may be feeling right now: Feeling steadier and more able to stay organized.
Safety note: This is a simplified educational model. Real symptoms vary, and severe symptoms require real care.

Safety section

Warning signs that need real help

Severe shaking, seizures, confusion, hallucinations, fainting, chest pain, or trouble staying awake need real medical care now.
If someone may harm themselves or feels in immediate danger, call or text 988 in the United States right away.

About the model

Transparent limits

This MVP is a rule-based simulation. It is designed to explain patterns, not to estimate real biology with precision.
The uncertainty score rises when use is heavier, sleep is low, stress sensitivity is high, or alcohol and cannabis are combined.
Kratom is not simulated here. If it is discussed later, it should only appear as a static educational note, not an active mode.
