The Kanzi–Ayumu Protocol is a retro-minimal gamified cognitive test inspired by visual memory experiments and lexigram-based symbolic communication.
The protocol moves through three cognitive fields:
1. Iconic Memory
Briefly observe numbers or silent signs, then reconstruct their order after they disappear.
2. Silent Signs
Memorize abstract symbols before they acquire stable meaning.
3. Command Field
Read lexigram-like symbolic commands and select the correct objects, destinations, or routes.
As the protocol develops, memory and symbolic interpretation begin to overlap. Covered signs must be remembered by position, recovered as meaning, and used to complete commands.
The experience is intentionally minimal: black screen, green terminal light, white masks, red warnings, procedural sound, and occasional ASCII interludes. It is designed less as a conventional game and more as a compact experimental apparatus: a test of attention, recall, timing, error, and symbolic flexibility.
Features:
- Retro terminal-inspired visual style
- Fast visual memory tasks inspired by iconic memory tests
- Lexigram-like symbolic association tasks
- Command and route interpretation stages
- Cross-mapping stages combining memory and meaning
- Procedural audio with just intonation, glitches, and machine-like interludes
- Final observations with detailed scoring profile
- Local top ten score table
No account is required. No network connection is required for gameplay.
