    This looks similar to the graphs on "2swap"[1]. Worth a watch if you haven't by now.

    This is beautiful. Have you looked at Stephen Wolfram's Physics project?

    https://www.wolframphysics.org/

    Reminds me of watching his idea of spacetime coming into existence.

    This is awesome.

    I'd love to see it with more than one type of stem cell and also some kind of apoptosis.

    Some of those look like thongs.

    Good scifi. Strong alien vibe. Reminds me of Dark City.

    Tends to get spindley but maybe that's just my phone

    Haven’t heard of SwissGL before, but this render feels super performant. Nice work with the Barnes-Hut algo!

    Feels like building proteins, or some kind of RNA/DNA molecules.

    Pleasingly wiggly :)

    8690 with a non-zero flip probability has a fun little effect I call "whoomph"

    8690 with a high flipProb, "stable explosion" preset, is like a fuse -

    be patient and it 'explodes'.

    Very fun!

    (Edit: apparently the fuse can 'die off' but the thing still eventually explodes)

    looks kinda like wolfarm physics project: ref: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2021/11/the-concept-of-t...

    ha, great minds. Posted nearly the exact same thing, but you were first, so upvote for you.

    Now we can see it knitting space-time before our eyes

    My quick investigation indicates that rule 2183 with a zero flipProb and the "fancy tentacles" is the most consistently able to generate penis-like images

    Addendum: limit it to ~300 growthLimit to... manage expectations

    And the preset doesn't matter - I thought it was a initial config that applies to any rule; it is a preset of the previous parameters instead

    500 growthLimit for others…
