Abstract
Signal Loom is an offline browser performance-art prototype by Spark AI NLP. Separate synthetic EEG-like and synthetic ECG-like streams become an interactive visual score: an EEG slow-envelope feature expands an abstract 2D field; ECG-derived synthetic R–R intervals set pulse rhythm; an adjustable β/τ injection draws a timing thread. Contents. Browser UI (index.html, app.js, styles.css), signal core (signal-model.js), mappings (mapping.js), held-out robustness and shuffled-code mapping-control checks (validation.js), and Node tests with no npm dependencies. Local static serve via Python http.server. Results framing. The β/τ and beat-alignment checks are a matched-model synthetic software check: generation and fitting use the same synthetic beat-template family, and fitting receives known synthetic clock-offset corrections. They are not a blind estimator, not neuroscience validation, and not evidence of real EEG–ECG physiology or generalization. Limits. Evidence: SYNTHETIC only. Not a medical device; not diagnostic; not for treatment, patient care or clinical decision-making; not a physical hologram; does not read thoughts or represent a real person's mind or heart. No live data, sensor/device connection, audio, camera, or network request.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The results show that the embedded industry has been able to apply agile methods in its development processes and that the appreciation of the agile methods and their individual practices appears to increase once adopted and applied in practice.
