The LENIA Universe - Run the code yourself ! Its easy !!

Feeding the algorithm. Lenia is so freakin' cool!

Lenia is so cool I'm leaving a comment for the algorythm

One thing I’m unclear on is why this is understood largely with analogies to biology rather than to physics. Life, as I tend to think of it, is like fire: it consumes and if it does not, it eventually dies. These things seem to me more like, types of particles (though, they have internal structure, so perhaps not like fundamental particles.) I wonder, has anyone come up with something which is like Lenia or Smoothlife, except that it has some kind of conservation laws? I know there is a discrete 2d cellular automaton called “critters”, which is invertible and which preserves the number of live cells, but also has gliders and such. I think it would be very cool if someone managed to get something like Lenia or smoothlife but where the time evolution was according to Lagrangian mechanics (on a field). Then, it could get conservation of energy and conservation of momentum for free. Of course, it couldn’t resemble the GoL all too closely, as it would presumably have to be invertible, and so the things disappearing without a trace like in GoL, couldn’t happen.

Very interesting and cool stuff! I can almost imagine these being particles coming into existence in their corresponding energy fields.

I'm really glad I came across your channel, both because you showcase very interesting things and because you break it down so that a total novice like me can start to understand. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you very much for this continuation of my favorite series yet by you, keep it up, you're doing great 👍

more people need to know about this. thank you for helping spread the word

I'm happy to be a subscriber of this channel. keep the good stuff coming!

I really need to be careful and not get addicted to these types of videos thier just so intresting to watch and the explanation helps with understanding all the math and stuff going on

You grow really fast. AND I LOVE IT

i dont have the iq to understand more than 10% of the math in this but boy is this sorta stuff amazing, thank you for making this subject some what palatable for me.

Thanks a lot for another Lenia video. I had been playing it for a while with barely any info. Also congrats for 10.1K Subs! Lenia boosted your subs twelve-fold.

Thanks for this in-depth guide, Neat!

I fucking love this.

Thank you so much for this video!

wow :) extremely good. Next step? Space with constant non-zero curvature. And being able to vary the parameters across the space. I had an idea for a continuous cellular automata game once.

Lenia needs more love

Very informative, nice work

thank you so much

Pretty cool stuff 😎
