MemeLab models outbreaks as a deterministic SEIR cellular automaton, with selectable geometries, defenses, evolving strains, R₀ fitting, and CPU, WebAssembly, or WebGPU execution.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

The model treats each lattice cell as an individual and advances infection states in daily ticks, with contact structure determined by the selected geometry or a mean-field approximation. It includes five spatial modes, four configurable defenses, multi-strain mutation and selection, and an estimator that searches for parameters matching pasted case or death curves. Seeded permalinks preserve grid, disease, defense, theme, and speed settings for exact replay.
