Interactive · The Score Function: Arrows Point Uphill on the Density Landscape

The scorexlog pt(x) is the gradient of the log-density. At each point x, it points toward where the density pt is higher — like an arrow pointing uphill on a landscape. The blue surface is the density pt(x) in 2D, viewed as a 3D landscape. The red arrows on the ground plane are the score field. Drag t to watch the landscape flatten and the arrows change.

noise level t = 0.20 (0 = sharp peaks, 1 = flat noise)
