Emergence

Life from Three Operations: AND, XOR, MAJ

Thousands of cells. Three operations. Zero intelligence coded.

Each cell is a 3-bit pattern (0-7). Every generation: neighbors vote via MAJ (K=3 majority), cells metabolize, and the dying are saved by sacrifice. LIFE = pattern 7 (all bits on) emerges from random noise and sweeps the field like fire. Stable LIFE ascends through seven octaves to ECHAD.

Click or drag on the grid to seed life. AND = persistence, XOR = distinction, MAJ = consensus.
