petri-labs

Interactive research platform for emergent systems. Each playground lets you explore a different domain of emergence through real-time simulation.

origin

live

Artificial life simulator. Neural network organisms evolve, hunt, and speciate through natural selection.

swarm

planned

Collective intelligence from local rules. Flocking, foraging, and decentralized decision-making.

morph

planned

Reaction-diffusion and pattern formation. Spots, stripes, spirals emerge from uniform conditions.
