Steam Store description

What am I looking at? This is a simulation of the creation of life. We’ve built an artificial chemistry simulation where you can watch single particles organize themselves into living organisms. It’s the sort of thing that might have happened in a drop of water several billion years ago when the earth was young. The difference here is that you can play with life and change it to see what happens. Is it really alive? It’s on the edge of being alive. To make it fast, fun, and easy to play with, we took a few shortcuts. How do you know it’s alive? Our simulation shows multiple properties that are only seen in living systems. For instance, we get predator-prey cycles of the sort that biologists encounter in Lotka Volterra equations. We get evolution. We get self-organized criticality appearing in organism populations. We also see common biological mechanisms appearing such as seed dispersal and the creation of protective outer shells to limit predation. We believe that claiming a system which supports all these behaviors isn’t alive requires a definition of life so restrictive that it precludes even certain kinds of chemical systems seen in nature. What has this got to do with real life in the universe? Isn’t that totally different? Yes. The chemistry in this simulation is like nothing that shows up in nature. However, as it turns out, a lot of the rules about how life organizes are the same. That means that simulations like this can help teach us about the range of possible places where life might arise in the universe. For instance, our simulation needs warmth: partic…
