I continue to delve into the worlds of my "The Clan Wars" project, primarily focusing on the ecosystems the organisms generate. Through my experiments, a recurring observation emerges: these ecosystems tend to stabilize over time, albeit susceptible to disruption by external influences. Maybe changes do occur, but they take a long time.
There's an inherent trend towards reduced diversity within these ecosystems. It's akin to the biological principle where a single species occupies a niche, displacing others. In our model, uniform conditions across the map, coupled with organisms' ability to utilize various energy sources simultaneously, contribute to this dwindling diversity.
To counteract this trend and foster greater diversity, I can introduce multiple zones with distinct conditions, limit the amount of generating cells that a single organism can have, and encourage movement between zones. Maybe I will do it in the next iteration of the model.

these simulation reveal so many critical and facinating concepts that we see in our nature. The way single cellular life becomes predominant but then when stability has emerged multicellular organisms naturally evolves and takes over. How we can see circular cell like structures at 13:45 and a structure that grows in a similar way to crystals or mold branches at the same time age. I find it facinating how there is so much that is unknown about nature, that cannot be described with a single math equation, but when plotting simple rules like this over millions of steps eventually a nature like system seems to always emerge. In a sense nature in real life is also a set of rules played out over time.

I think this world need some variety. For example if different parts of the world had slightly different rules about energy then it would be impossible for the entire world to be dominated by exactly the same group of organisms creating the same balance everywhere.

@@oystercatcher943 That's not what they're talking about. In those videos, the differences were just different organisms, if I recall correctly. They're referring to different environmental factors. Though the environment for this simulation is rather simplistic (I think there's just the organic matter/energy value and nothing else) so there's not a whole lot that can really be done in that regard. If they added temperature and humidity as environmental values and gave organisms preferred temperature and humidity values that are dictated by their genes, it'd help prevent the simulations from converging to a stable state like the one Nezghul is referring to.

If you create zones with different conditions, local ecosystems will arise. Organisms from one ecosystem will try to colonize neighboring ones. This will create more dynamics and variety. I did a similar project many years ago. In the current project, I specifically created the same conditions throughout the entire map, and only the organisms themselves can change the conditions through their vital activity. I was wondering where this would lead. In the next major project I will make a variety of conditions in different places on the map

Here, most of the work of organisms is hard-coded in code, and not in the virtual genome. If the genome of these virtual organisms recorded the sequence of creation of different types of cells, then the genomes would differ by several percent

What youre missing are Jurisdictions. All sprouts of the same jurisdiction follow the same rules. These rules are toggles like 'sprouts cannot kill other sprouts' or 'sprouts can not take food if a sprout with more need for food is in the area' or 'sprouts can only crossover with min/max generations apart'

Here's an idea: Destructive cells, which resist and absorb excesses of energy and organic matter and cause nearby cells to drain more energy, but are themselves highly energy intensive and self-destruct over time, thus giving a way for organisms that prefer energy poor environments to create one for themselves. Also arguably we humans are causing a new mass extinction and rebuilding of ecosystems...

I do have to say, I am surprised about the stable solution being one that is divided into about equal parts growing areas and resource caches but doesn't show any apparent local symmetry. You looked into free genetic drift, but since your genomes are always constant size there are no advantages (or rather weaknesses) attached to it. IIRC its a thing in realspace - organisms in stable conditions would go ahead and optimize away for genome size in order to gain a small advantage while not being punished for losing complex strategies they no longer need. (like defenses, or working around environmental conditions rarely found inside a colony) In a way, evolution runs backwards towards less complexity - at least for a while until a random individual finds a way to exploit some really dumb looking weakness that would have died out instantly during the early stages. It doesn't even need to spell doom by swallowing all. Just by existing and disturbing the balance. Then it dies as well, because nobody retained the ability to deal with the fallout. I'd love to see it in action - starting from the end of this run. edit: I may be biased though, because I want to see more cellular automata ASMR. :D

Honestly I'm amazed by how often you get stable ecosystems. I've seen lots of other attempts at evolution simulations that always eventually collapse no matter what you do. The only other ones I can think of don't because the organisms have pre-programmed ai made by the developer, which limits their behavioral complexity as a consequence

Blue cells can extract energy from the soil. Only red cells can extract organic matter. They then convert it into energy. This was done to introduce diversity in the structure of organisms. Perhaps not very successful. We need to come up with some kind of naive “chemistry”. Combining different chemical elements gives different possibilities.
