Claude unearths a forgotten 2004 project, turns a cardiac model into a heartbreak MV

Oxford researcher Anders Sandberg shared a delightful case: while exploring his old project files, Claude dug up a forgotten 2004 project, reused its code for visuals, and helped create a music video about fixing heartbreak using the Aliev-Panfilov model of cardiac tissue.
- The "healing arc" spans four stages — scarred re-entrant spiral, scar removal, cardioversion shock with kick-paced resumption, then fully restored rhythm — with Hopfield conventions (random ±1 patterns, zero-diagonal Hebbian weights, synchronous sign(xw) updates) carried into Verse 2
- Claude was also careful about proper academic and Creative Commons attribution in the video
