Infinite Becoming — Synthetic Ecosystem Game

Synthetic and uncalibrated. U/V are dimensionless reaction–diffusion state variables—not measured nutrient or biomass. Agent energetics, private memory, and social-cue variables are simplified game rules, not claims about ecology, learning, intelligence, or consciousness.

Private memory trace (mean)0.000

Social cue trace (mean)0.000

Agents interact with V through an invented synthetic intake rule; this does not make V ecological biomass.

Memory is a coarse, decaying record of observed V; juveniles can copy simple cues from nearby adults. These channels are simplified behavior variables.

Simulated substrate time0.000

Illustrative temperature18.0°C

Baseline F / K—

Current seasonal F(t) / K(t)—

Seasonal mode applies a very small bounded F/K modulation around baseline values as well as changing illustrative temperature; it is not a temperature-only comparison.

Baseline F0.0545

Baseline K0.062

U diffusion coefficient DU0.160

V diffusion coefficient DV0.080

DU / DV ratio2.00

Requested / active Δt0.800 / 0.800

Diffusion-only estimate / guarded ceiling1.563 / 0.800

The automatic Δt bound is a conservative diffusion-only estimate, not a stability proof for the nonlinear reaction–diffusion system. Compare behavior and timestep convergence across parameter ranges before interpreting patterns.

Simulated substrate time sums active Δt; agent rules and the seasonal cycle still advance by model tick. This is a numerical clock, not ecological time.

Parameter setCurrent run: default seed

Selected parameter values are shown here; selection alone does not change the run.

Opt-in V reseed amount / tick0.000

Zero disables reseeding. A nonzero value adds that dimensionless amount to one random V cell per endogenous model tick; this intervention is separate from baseline runs.

Stores only F, K, DU, DV, requested Δt and seed—not the world. Applying a saved preset resets the entire run. Use Save state / Load state for a full world checkpoint.
