Anxiety is fear of the future. This engine stops the clock.

Move Mouse Up: Freeze time. Return to the "Now."
Move Mouse Down: Accelerate time. Visualize moving through the obstacle.

The "Urgency" Circuit: The brain estimates time based on the rate of information processing. By presenting an infinite, recursive tunnel combined with a recursive audio scale, we overload the brain's "Frame Rate," causing a subjective slowing of time.

SHEPARD TONES
Auditory Illusion: A Shepard Tone consists of sine waves separated by octaves. It creates the illusion of a pitch that is continually descending, but never actually gets lower. This "Infinite Fall" tricks the temporal processing centers.
OPTOKINETIC REFLEX
Visual Anchoring: When your eyes lock onto the center of the moving tunnel, your brain engages the Optokinetic Reflex to stabilize the image. This reflex suppresses the Amygdala because the brain prioritizes visual navigation over emotional processing.
