An interactive model of a single superconducting optoelectronic dendrite obeying ds/dt = gamma*g(phi,s) - s/tau. A SQUID source driven by applied flux fills an integration loop with signal s, which leaks away at rate s/tau. Hold a button to inject flux; sliders set the leak time constant and the bias current. A scrolling plot shows input flux and the resulting signal over time.
