A preliminary experiment with NetWorks and chaotic systems.
NetWorks is a non-AI, generative algorithm that seeks to tap into the creativity of complex, self-organizing systems.

I made a thing, based on Particle Lenia. I don't think anyone explored it in a multi-particle setup and ...lots of particles. Jump to min 20 for particle life-like critters in Particle Lenia!

Published my WebGPU Particle Life simulation online! Obviously it requires WebGPU support, and it's quite resource-demanding, so I've set the particle count to 64k for now. Also it probably doesn't work on mobile; will fix later.

You already know the Ship of Theseus, but do you also know the Ship of Thesis? It was constructed out of 3 loosely related papers which tell the tales of heroic quests and mythic psychodrama. It was only constructed once and then allowed to sink into oblivion.
