- Its three procedural seeds are explicitly described as starting points, not verified Lenia species or biological organisms.
Field notes
The method section describes a single-channel Lenia-style continuous cellular automaton: cells respond to a normalized ring-kernel neighborhood and a Gaussian growth function. The page says its displayed mass, activity, and change are calculated from the current cells each frame. It also distinguishes its three procedural starting seeds from verified species or organisms, and says experiments and snapshots stay local to the browser.
