The simulation is a sketch, not a baby. infant-model.js implements four
mechanisms from the reading — optimal rather than maximal arousal, gaze aversion as
self-regulation, habituation, and the solicit-then-protest-then-withdraw sequence —
with numbers chosen to make them visible, not measured from anyone. The partner errs
toward under-stimulation: measured against this infant it avoids aversion almost
entirely but leaves it bored about a third of the time, which is a real weakness and
is recorded as one.
