ECHO: Life leaves a trace
An interactive artificial-life experiment lets visitors alter a small simulated world, optionally add a learning caretaker, and save the result on their device.
- For
- People exploring artificial life and learning systems
- Worth noticing
- The site links all eight matched seeds, raw JSON logs, CSV time series, and a versioned benchmark manifest.
Field notes
The chamber is a 128 × 128 cell world with controls to pause, advance a step, add energy, and choose presets including Lone glider, Living garden, Parallel pair, and Random field. Learning is off by default; the optional Q-learning caretaker explores light and mutation settings from mass-change feedback and may accelerate collapse. Saves stay on the device, and the research section links benchmark logs, CSV data, and a protocol.
