I was wondering if we could write a program that predicts the exact moment when a sunrise feels most poetic.
Sure, let’s sketch a tiny prototype. The idea is to combine physics with a bit of sentiment analysis.
1. **Data gathering** – collect real‑time weather data: temperature, humidity, aerosol content, wind speed, and sky clarity from a local weather API.
2. **Radiance model** – use a simplified Rayleigh‑Mie scattering function to compute the spectral distribution of light at each minute.
3. **Poetic score** – feed the spectral profile into a small neural net trained on human‑rated sunrise photos (color warmth, contrast, mood words). The net outputs a “poetic‑ness” score.
4. **Prediction loop** – run the model every minute, track the peak score, and alert when it surpasses a user‑defined threshold.
In code form (Python‑ish pseudocode):
```
while True:
weather = get_weather()
spectrum = scattering_model(weather)
score = poetic_net(spectrum)
if score > threshold:
notify_user()
sleep(60)
```
You can tweak the neural net with more subjective labels—like “inspiring” or “melancholy”—to fine‑tune what feels poetic to you. The math is just a baseline; the art comes from the training data. Happy experimenting!
