Prediction node
Drift
Learns where you leave each knob and how fast you move it, then keeps the knob going after you let go: it settles into your usual places and wanders between them at your pace. Speed, Stray and Momentum shape the wandering, and Link lets your live hand activity stir it.
What it does
Drift is a prediction node: it guesses where a value or a phrase goes next and drifts around that guess. It has no input and gives prediction out, so it starts a chain.
