Creates long worms structure which slowly merge together into a single very dense worm (seen with "centered circle" button) The longer the structure become, the harder they fight the merge
This universe creates moving structures of red, green, blue, white alternating small groups with lots of cells. This creates strong worms which often merge together but also sometime split with a larger worm and a small one. Since the groups are strong the structure resists well the wall wrapping. The universe doesn't stabilize but keep an infinitely consistent configurations. Starting from center helps creating stronger structure earlier on. Sometime a worm eats its own tail and becomes a spinning structure absorbing other worms when they get too close.
Shows how the particles change their behavior close to the borders
Looks a lot like "4 Colors - worms" but without enough cohesion to form full worms as they slip soon after they create a single stage.
The universe create islands with blue-green core closely surrounded by red bands surrounded bu thin white bands. The interesting parts is that the white surrounding bands (and sometimes the red inner bands) oscillate around some islands while the core remains mostly stable, just changing shape. It also creates some rare completely rotating islands.
Forms layered islands of various forms which get stable
The universe create moving structures with a band of white cells pushing a circle of white cells surrounding a red-blue-green core. The structures end up merging together.
White is repulsed by other colors and other colors are all repulsed by white. This create organic patterns of multi colors groups surrounding white islands
Blue gets horded into islands which get stable early while chaotic waves of red white and green never converge
TODO Find a good analogy The universe converges to many small islands with a green-white core surrounded by red bands. Sometimes more complex structures emerge but they are rare they often collapse into simpler forms.
Red islands caught in white-green swarms
Cluster Green-Blue and White-Red Green-Blue is surrounded by a thin Red border White-Red tend to be attracted by this border, then end up merging. We can observe some hexagonal shapes!
Very strong and circular cells of Red-Green-Blue-White layers very clearly delimited. Some Red Green worms not moving and slowly merging around
A concentric shell structure built from a chained attraction cascade. Red self-attracts strongly and ignores everyone — it forms immovable dense cores. White is attracted to red but strongly self-repels, settling into a uniform ring around each core. Green is attracted to white but strongly self-repels, settling into a second outer ring around the white ring. Expected result: repeated three-layer structures of green outer shell, white middle ring, red nucleus.
Creates clusters of blue and of red-green slowing merging in a sea of white
This is a good example of how friction affect things - try 0.47 vs 0.06. Creates a lot of structures which slow merge or stop moving Triangular green core with red-white alternating crown
Green clusters merging next to more complex clusters of white or white-red shells encircling blue-red core. The clusters tend to move before merging and becoming still.
Blue self-attracts very strongly and violently repels all other species, which in turn repel blue. White, red and green are mutually attracted cross-species but not to themselves. Blue should form tight self-maintaining balls surrounded by a mixed-color gas that wraps around them but cannot penetrate — creating a cellular foam of blue bubbles enclosed in walls of mixed WRG.
Cyclic repulsion chain (white pushes red, red pushes green, green pushes blue, blue pushes white) combined with self-attraction for all four species. Unlike Cellular strips which produces soft organic regions because non-repelling pairs mix freely, the self-cohesion here prevents mixing: each color actively gathers into its own monochrome clusters, producing sharper and rounder territory boundaries.
TODO Improve this description. Blobs of red-blue and blobs of green-white move around and regularly merge creating bigger blobs. Sometimes they stop moving. I think it should converge to a still state because there doesn't seemm to have splits but if it does it takes a very long time. The simulation might be artificially kept moving by the inaccurate computations of walls wrapping.
clusters of blue-green-white moving in a see of red until they have all merged or stoped moving
Cells with a clustered blue-green center surrounded by alternating red-white borders. The cells move mostly by rotating until they all merge and converge
Wave of small Red-Green-White blobs moving and interfering with each other.
White is attracted to all other colors which all are repulsed by white. This creates waves of white floats pushing incoherent masses of red, green and blue.
Two factions (white+red vs green+blue) that strongly repel each other across faction lines, creating stable territorial boundaries. Within each faction there is a predator-prey chase: white hunts red and green hunts blue. The faction walls act as mirrors — each territory runs its own independent wave dynamics, with the inter-faction boundary preventing the two chases from ever directly interfering.
Strong white-green-blue crystal-like filament with rivers of red and white
A universe very slowly converging into a stable mesh structure.
All colors repulse themselves but there is a white -> red -> green attraction chain. This creates compact groups becoming still
Several different moving species emerge through time and move for a long time until they are all merged
movers are core White pushed by one blob of Red and pulled by two blobs of Green and a circle of Blue They either move in straight line or spin on themself in one direction or the other depending on the local perturbations
Most of the run show simple moving structure interacting with clusters and changin form over time. The simulation takes several minutes before converging into non moving blobs
Some complex moving structures emerge before stabilizing
A Blue-Red-White glider moving in a sea of Red-White. Also a single Green blob emerge and the glider pushes it indefinitely
Creates a variety of moving organisms: worm-like chains, compact blobs, and spinning structures. Over time they collide, merge, and collapse into layered multi-stage islands. The diversity of intermediate forms is the main interest.
A crystal of Blue Red-Green chains form and White-Green low cohesion movers break through the crystal until there is only one mover left
Another slowly moving but varied complex structure universe
The universe quickly creates complex moving structures with a white-blue center pushing a green blob and surrounded by low density red circle or semi circle. The movers tend to merge together so the universe ends up less and less dynamical
The universe creates several types of complex moving organisms sometimes very circular sometimes longer. The organisms sometime merge completely but often just exchange some particles when they merge. This change of particles sometimes put the movers to a rest and sometimes creates new movers. The universe takes a very long time to stabilize as the energy decrese over time.
Converges into a layered moving structure
Creates white pushing blue pushing red moving structures floating in a sea of white and green. The moving structures easily split and merge when they touch each other so the universe never really stabilize
create islnds which sometimes have a spinning structure of a white core. 3 groups of red spinning around it surrounded by a circle of green. Blue is not impacting much the other colors Both low and high friction produce interesting results
A small universe converging to a single moving pattern with a core of white chasing red, 2 lateral half circles of blue and chasing a crowd of green
Initially create long moving structures with red, green-white-green, red, blue, red stages. The structures end up merging in filament-like structures.
Change the proportion of blue and see how structures become more structured when more blue appears
A beautiful pattern infinitely moving. Low cohesion but still some distinctive areas
large simple organisms moving very fast in the universe
The universe create several types of moving structures which end up merging and stabilizing into complex structures
Compact white, red, green structures pushing through inert blue
The most common form in this universe is a White-Blue-Red-Green compact mover. These movers often merge and reproduce the same structure. Sometimes when they meet are the right angle they create a chain sharing one border but this tends to collapse into the original form.
TODO Improve description Green-Blue chasing red-white but with lots of low cohesion groups and probably a more complex relationship to describe.
Rock-Paper-Scissors dynamics (white chases green, green chases red, red chases white) with self-attraction added to each species. The original RPS produces diffuse rotating waves because particles spread freely. Here each species coalesces into compact clusters before the cyclic dynamics take over, expected to produce discrete blobs orbiting each other rather than spreading wave fronts.
A RPS chase flowing around self attracted blue islands. It looks like flow of people walking around pillars in the subway
RPS-like rules which creates alternating stripes of white, red, green. Converge into a pretty stable moving pattern
White and red both hunt green. Green flees both. The twist: white and red repel each other, so they compete for hunting territory rather than cooperating. Creates de-facto patrol zones — patches of white chasing green and patches of red chasing green that can't overlap, with green perpetually squeezed between rival predators.
White stripes incrusted of green interlacing with red stripes incrusted of blue
Red creates a barriere between stripes of White and stripes of Green. Add White-White and Green-Green repulsion turns into small waves
Shifted the matrix of repulsion horizontally. There is much more spread (Probably due to the lack of internal group cohesion) to the full universe and that makes much more and thinner paths
It seems that the additional repulsions create thinner strips.
I'm not sure which analogy to use here. Expands quickly into a stable universe with organic shapes of red-blue and white-green separated by empty strips.
TODO Describe this one
A central structured Green core closely surrounded by a thin White border surrounded by a thin Red-Blue border with a sea of Red and Blue around.
With Blue repulsing itself the islands patterns change
Same as anthill but in a bigger world. It looks like some water (Green) creating water ways on a land over time
Islands of Red-Blue (the soil?) Pushed White in which Green keeps moving and forming new paths
From the 2 colors chase add red self-attraction. Suddenly we start to see some kind off dynamic cohesion. The red cells attract each other forming groups which attract groups of white cells chasing them. But since there is no strong structures the vessels are fragile and approaching other vessels tends to create chaos which disperse them. As time goes by vessels become bigger and more stable. It seems the only thing which keeps them disassembling are the wrapping inaccuracies.
