Lenia – Mathematical Life Forms

Lenia (from Latin lenis, “smooth”) is a cellular automaton, like Conway’s Game of Life, but with continuous states and continuous space-time. It supports an unexpected (bio)diversity of persistent life forms, each possesses idiosyncratic anatomy and physiology, and exhibits a wide range of behaviors. More than 300 species have been identified, many discovered using human-based evolutionary algorithm.
