Growth One

A growth simulation of a virtual micro organism that follows simple rules. The organism starts with a few seed nodes, and it grows when the seed nodes and search nodes accept each other when they meet certain conditions. The organism loosely resembles structures found in nature such as coral reef or fungus. Do we embrace the beauty of its emerging structure or reject it because of pathogenic associations?

Instructions:

• The simulation may take some time to finish.
• press [spacebar] - start/stop breathing animation
• press [b] - alternative grey backgrounds
• press [s] - export high resolution PNG image
• press [p] - play or pause the entire animation
• real time growth mode - You can simulate the growth in real-time by adding "realtime" parameter to the end of the URL in live view. (ex. https://ipfs.io/.../?fxhash=...&realtime)
