3D Cellular Automata — Kling Labs ================================ The simulation and renderer are original implementations for Kling Labs. No Softology source code, images, music or rendered videos are included. Rule reference and inspiration: Jason Rampe, Softology: "3D Cellular Automata", 28 December 2019. https://softologyblog.wordpress.com/2019/12/28/3d-cellular-automata-3/ The author's corrections and clarifications of 22 April 2020 and 18 February / 31 May 2021 are followed: only state 1 is alive and counted. S / B / C / neighbourhood presets from the published catalogue: Pyroclastic: 4-7 / 6-8 / 10 / Moore Coral: 5-8 / 6-7,9,12 / 4 / Moore Clouds 1 (displayed as Clouds): 13-26 / 13-14,17-19 / 2 / Moore Crystal Growth 1 (displayed as Crystal): 0-6 / 1,3 / 2 / von Neumann All updates are synchronous, using separate old/new grids. 0 is empty; 1 is active; states 2 through C-1 are refractory. Birth requires state 0 and a neighbour count in B. Survival requires state 1 and a count in S. Refractory cells increment until they become 0, regardless of the neighbour count. They never contribute to that count. The centre is excluded: Moore has 26 neighbours; von Neumann has six. Grid boundaries are empty, not periodic. Random seeds are reproducible. Crystal uses a single seed cell, so changing the random seed does not change its deterministic initial state. The browser reports actual generation and population, including the short initial warmup. Presentation: ray/box intersection with Amanatides–Woo-style 3D voxel traversal, local occlusion and a traced directional shadow in focus mode. Cell-scale interpolation is visual only and does not modify the model. Cutaway removes cells only from rendering. Camera, palette, lighting and rotation do not change the automaton. CPU-only presentation is a simpler depth-sorted projection of the same actual cells, without raytraced shadows. Focus volume: 64^3. Animated gallery preview: 36^3. GPU-free Windows static preview: 30^3. Each smaller preview is its own simulation, not a downsample of the focus volume. Rules are mathematical demonstrations, not validated models of actual rocks, clouds, coral or other living tissue.
