Let’s see what happens.

Touch the surface. Leave a mark.Enable “Draw freely” to draw with your finger.
Two small variables.
Change one. Watch the pattern respond to its new conditions.
The rate at which A is added.
The rate at which B is removed.
The portrait of a rule.
TRACE: 256 possibilities starting from one point. Change a rule and see the whole picture again.

↗A NOTE FROM THE OBSERVATORY
Who thought
of this shape?
Here, we set the conditions in which a shape can emerge.
A few rules, thousands of tiny calculations. A fold appears, and we give it a name. Coral. Labyrinth. Island.
These are numerical patterns, not living organisms. Each world opens from the same starting state. What follows belongs to this visit.
