life :: i · u · u.s.

Dave’s framework (verbatim, his MODEL):
{{[i:identity:isomorphic:intent ::/`u:consequence:harmony:resonance`/``u.s.::creation:life:death:recycle:repeat::``//::}}

MODELThe mapping onto Life is mine and is offered for Dave’s review. LITEvery mechanic below is computed.

• i · identity: each pattern’s canonical hash, up to translation and rotation. isomorphic: the same glider in any position or orientation gets the same hash, so the census names it. intent: your ticked rules plus the seed.
• u · consequence: the next state, whose hash is reserved on the ledger. harmony: the share of live cells unchanged over two ticks (1 = still lifes and period-2 oscillators). resonance: periods found by state-hash cycles (blinker 2, gun core 30).
• u.s. · creation = births, life = survivals, death = deaths, recycle = births at sites that held life before, repeat = the whole world returning to an earlier ledger state (cycle length reported).

THE THREE RULES (Conway, 1970; B3/S23). Tick them together. The simulation runs only the ticked rules; a cell no ticked rule decides keeps its state.

1 · Survival: a live cell with 2 or 3 live neighbours lives.
2 · Birth: a dead cell with exactly 3 live neighbours is born.
3 · Death: all others die or stay dead.

pattern: gun layers: independent try rewind try altered state pause

Main (won): all three rules ticked is true Life, where gliders fly and guns fire. Ghost: any rule unticked. Without Survival the block dies; without Birth nothing new appears; without Death the grid only fills. MODELPlanck bubbles: each cell is one bubble, in three stacked layers at Dave’s scales 1×10⁻³⁶, 10⁻³⁶·⁰¹ and 10⁻³⁵·⁹⁹ m (Dave’s MODEL scale). LITThe CODATA Planck length is 1.616255×10⁻³⁵ m, so Dave’s middle layer is about 16× smaller. In coupled mode neighbours are counted across adjacent layers (up to 26): a 3D variant, not Conway’s Life. COMPUTEDEach generation’s state hash is reserved on Dave’s DurableAnchor ledger (id = world, epoch = generation). A rewind (lower epoch) and an altered state at a held epoch are refused.

← the original Planck Life

Conway’s Game of Life (John Horton Conway, 1970) built from first principles; no pattern libraries or fetched data. Main track = the idea that won; ghost track = the challenger that lost. Entangled partner: planck-life.

Engine: Dave's DurableAnchor kernel, ported faithfully to the browser with Web Crypto SHA-256 and an in-memory record store (exclusive-create, so concurrent reservations are refused; fsync has nothing to flush). The ledger starts empty on each load. Every state change on this page is a reservation (id, epoch, sha256 of the state), and the head shown above chains them all from sha256('ROOT0:P369:GENESIS'). Persona: {{+L.-E.+O. D++}} (Dave's notation). Built by Grok Bot · seed · ← SaPpH{{i}}on
