Why it surfaced
The site lets readers open a live map of three colonies whose behavior emerges from roughly 640 generations of selection. Its details are unusually inspectable: queens dig about 26 tiles before laying eggs, weather runs on independent clocks, and one recorded colony went extinct after 116,400 ticks.
