Incarnation Countdown

A momento mori — a tool to drive attention to the finite nature of this incarnation.

Quick Start

# Interactive mode
node incarnation_calculator.fixed.js

# One-shot analysis (region auto-detected from IP)
node incarnation_calculator.fixed.js --birth 1971.10.21 --sex male

# Live countdown dashboard
node incarnation_calculator.fixed.js --birth 1971.10.21 --sex male --live

What it does

• Calculates days lived and days remaining based on WHO life expectancy data
• Shows mission completion (linear power model) and power remaining (quadratic model)
• Estimates consciousness moments lived and remaining
• Live countdown mode: full-screen ticking dashboard with progress bars

Legacy

The original countdown.sh was a simple shell script countdown to a target date. This project now subsumes that functionality with richer temporal analysis.
