SocioLife is an advanced artificial life simulation exploring emergent social behaviors, tribal dynamics, economic systems, warfare, diplomacy, and technological evolution in a com…

Looks better... the one thing I am not seeing is the behavior where they expand in two directions at the same time - but it might be that it's too small. Also it would be better if…

share a link to the new version of your shader - would love to check it out perhaps also make a version that starts from random initial condition as well? looks promising

Looks closer. Can’t tell from your example if exact.. but seems better

Very cool!

Actually - on that particular topic - you might want to read the articles and the math before forming an opinion - start from information geometry and fisher information metrics of…

You're right that Realm of Lace edges are derived from node eligibility, making it theoretically equivalent to a complex multi-state CA. I've updated the documentation to reflect t…

The difference is that it is not merely using dynamic neighborhoods - it's using topological properties of neighbors and neighborhoods as metrics that rules use. For example, sum o…

Actually it's a pretty hard thing to implement - the main challenge was to make it performant in python... I had to jump through flaming hoops!

links are first-class entities. Some rules have cell states AND links. Some rules treat cell states as topological metrics of neighborhoods or neighbors. See the detailed .md cited…

Because I was too lazy to refactor it into a ton of modules...

The question is really whether this class of rule is a subset of 2D binary state CA, or whether it is a superset in fact.

Here is a bit more information on how this class of rule works - should help with some of the questions about that in the thread: https://github.com/novaspivack/lace/blob/master/Re…

I've added a bit more explanation https://github.com/novaspivack/lace/blob/master/Rule_Explana... https://github.com/novaspivack/lace/blob/master/Betweenness_... These cover only o…

Yes you are missing something. The first examples do that, but later examples do something different - they are using the neighborhood topology instead of traditional cell states, …

In theory, if using a computationally universal CA, you can simulate any other CA with it. However it might require a lot of sub-steps to do so. No claim is being made that this is…

These rules use very different principles than traditional cell-based rules - for example neighbor degree, number of connections, and eligibility criteria based on connectivity. So…

Good feedback - These rules use very different principles than traditional cell-based rules - for example neighbor degree, number of connections, and eligibility criteria based on …

Birth conditions: Based on sum of neighbor degrees Survival conditions: Based on sum of neighbor degrees Death conditions: Specific degree counts that cause node death Eligibility:…

hahaha ... I actually wondered if someone dosed me... but no that was not possible in that situation at that time (and it would have had to be an elephant dose to last a week). Yes…
