Experiment 001
Can digital life emerge?
Launch a basic cellular automaton with a population limit.
Visitors can change the rules, run the simulation and share their results.
Digital Life / A concept in exploration
Digital life.
Can digital life emerge? An open question to explore through simulations, digital organisms, and evolution.

What happens when
simple rules meet?
Digital Life explores how behaviours and patterns might emerge in a simulated environment. The idea is to try configurations together, observe what survives, and compare what we learn.
Proposed experiments
How I'd launch it
I'd approach it as a community experiment rather than a finished game.
Experiment 002
Design a digital organism
Let users define simple behaviours and introduce them into a shared environment.
Track which configurations survive.
Experiment 003
Evolution challenge
Give everyone identical resources and rules.
See whose configurations persist the longest, then compare strategies.
A small idea.
Room to grow.
Play Digital Life: Survival above. The other experiments describe where Digital Life could go next.
