Archean selforganization

Self-organization is a concept I picked up from a book by Stuart Kaufman. The idea is that any systems consisting out of subsystems with a great number of rules that define interactions between the subsystems will show signs of self-organization. Some systems will help others, while other systems will slow neighbors. In these kind of environments it is unavoidable that positive feedback loops will occur. A will help B, B will help C and C will help A, so the whole system will grow in an ABC pattern.

Archean is an implementation of these ideas in the form of a cellular automatum. The idea is rather simpel. Each cell contains a vector of six reals. The average vector of the neighbourhood is then calculated and multiplied by a matrix. This result is added to the vector of the cell. By mapping the six reals to rgb space and filling the matrix with random numbers, fascinating patterns spring to life.

An online version in Java is available and a downloadable one in Delphi. The last one is faster and has a breeding mode, where you see four variants of the same population and you can choose which one you like best. That one is then taken as the seed for four new variants. This allows you to find interesting patterns.

The Java version you see below. The matrix is represented by a 37 character string, which is displayed below. The same string will recreate the same patterns. If you hit on an especially interesting pattern, just copy the pattern and place a comment below, so others can view it too. The first character of the pattern should be 1,2,3 or 4 and determines the size of the neighbourhood used in the calculations. The other characters are the values of the matrix, numbers and capitals are positive numbers (capitals first), negative numbers are represented by the character for positive, but then with the shift pressed. You can vary the characters and see what happens.

Very Interesting
by Tom de Vries
This is a very interesting project. It might even look better if the colors would not be saturated completely most of the time. The more subdued effect would be good.

Saving & Loading fixed

Really cool, but make it for the web...
by Hjalmar Gislason
Really cool project. Although I really like Delphi, more people would be enjoying this project if it didn't require a download. It scares a lot of people away, whereas it wouldn't if it would display in the browser. Java should do the trick, but also too few people are using Flash for interesting thing like these. The latest versions have pretty extensive programming features and would allow for a fast loading, good looking implementation of e.g. the Archean project.

Just my 5 cents.

Keep up the good work,

Never stops
by DakoYam
From what I can see the 'never ending' ones are just repleating the pattern, which must mean they've reached equilibrium.

Are there any true non-equilibrium maps?

in responce to DakoYam's question about non-repeating patterns:
no, since the procedure is deterministic and there are only a finite number of states.

this is really, really awesome though.

I'm getting a cool one where there are oscillating embryos spiraling around. the centers of the spirals seem to be slowly arranging themselves in various grid patterns.

This displays a very slowly evolving pattern of blue "seas" and golden "islands".

Your projects are all very interesting.

Ow, My Eyes

It's like a music-visualizer gone bad. There's this spinning thing that throws off blobs of violently contrasting colours.

Green & Pink Jungle
by ShockFire
This one has shadowed colored ambient light from a green and pink jungle. :) Also there seems to be ambient lines sprounting up that color the shadows with a matrix of variant greens and pinks. The pinks mostly stay in the middle while the greens take over the outside. Kind of like looking at a flare underwater in a cave when it is completely dark.

Shaded Plasma Molten Slime
by ShockFire
A cascading mixture of molten slime and plasma. They seem to always oddly connect. :)

Unknown Trigger Plop Maze
by ShockFire
I made it myself. :) At times it goes into a weaving web like a puzzle with splashed colors everywhere with different lines and shapes. And at other times it changes colors with pychedelic effect. Then there is the times when it doesn't seem to do anything. For long minute's and I am unsure if some will do anything. And sometimes it develops a matrix only to isolate and lock itself into place.

Yellow Criss Cross Shirt
by ShockFire
It is like a yellow criss crossed shirt. It is always the same kind of pattern. With some blue and green pockets of color like mini blobs.. :)

Yellow Sea Blue Landmass
by ShockFire
This one works very fast. It makes the outside a always yellow sea with a blue landmass.

Lost Sequence
by Bruce
458151623424581516234245815162342

This is the number sequence from TV's "Lost", repeated three times, which yields a wonderful and long-running result. A few minutes in, it even looks like a map of the world (minus South America). Watch for it.

Then Again...
by Bruce
Well, I spoke too soon. By using a string shorter than 37 characters, I found that each launch of the string yielded a different result. I wish I could reproduce that first iteration - it was great. You'll just have to believe me.

Interesting. I note that if you don't include an initial number random every time.

I'll be looking forward to playing with this more! :D

if you put in the name Kendrew, it takes for freaking ever to stabilize. also: you could tile it together. the left and right sides, and the top and bottom match up so if you did tile it, it'd fit together and make a huge image.

purple makes a purple and green image
blue makes a baby blue and blood red image
green makes a very pixelated green and purple image
yellow makes a pink and green lava lamp
orange makes a bluegreen and redorange image
red makes a pixelated hot pink and green image
turquoise makes a very dark purple and very light green image.

tigers eye makes a striped blue and orange image
diamond makes a lined green and purple image
amythest looks like something you'd see in a pitri dish
topaz is bright orange and blue

lime is pretty interesting.
lemon seems to stabilize at a greenish and reddish hue, but if you look close it keeps going.
