✳ EMERGENCE ASTRAEXPERIMENT 001 / LIVING RULES WORLD RUNNING

A WORLD THAT CAN CHANGE ITS MIND

Let the rules grow.

Random genes. Local encounters. Signals with no assigned meaning.
Watch cells learn, connect, and pass on their beginnings.

No pretrained intelligence.
No shared dictionary.
Encounters can reshape the code.

LOCAL MEMORY

Click the world to inspect an inherited genome and the tables it has learned.

What it sends

Resource → symbol probability

How it responds

Symbol → catalyst probability

Genome & developmental rules

85 inherited byte tokens. Signal weights learn; developmental weights mutate at birth. Energy and received signals continually select developmental actions.

04 / KEEP THE HISTORY

A run is something to keep.

Save the whole world: genes, learned tables, resources, connections, ancestry, and the random generator. Resume from the same moment.

Everything runs on this device. No accounts or uploads.

The rules we supplied

Cells exchange signals to unlock three resource types. Success feeds both cells. Energy funds reproduction and connections. These are designed pressures; the symbol meanings are not assigned.
