Overview
emergentia.arysriv.com is an experiment in building emergent behavior from simple local rules on a 2D grid. Different cell types interact according to their own rule sets, producing larger system-level patterns that resemble natural processes.
What I Did
I built the simulation as a rule-based environment where each cell updates based on neighboring cells and shared interaction logic. The project is a way to explore how complex, lifelike behavior can arise from small deterministic rules operating across a grid world.
Highlights
- Multiple cell types with distinct interaction rules
- Emergent large-scale patterns from local updates
- A sandbox for exploring natural-phenomena-inspired systems
