Serizawa Geminoid
One of my first construction results: a smaller, more efficient Geminoid design in Serizawa, following my interest in Andrew Wade’s Gemini.

Cellular automata connect local rules with large-scale behavior. This collection focuses on rules beyond Conway’s Game of Life and experiments with learned local updates.
Construction and growth
In Serizawa, I built a Geminoid and found a four-cell quadratic-growth seed. Geminoid Particles uses a rule I designed to explore construction and self-destruction. The c/3 spaceship in Live Free or Die is another example of what a different rule makes possible.
Learned local updates
Neural CA MNIST connects this interest with AI: learned, step-specific local updates evolve a digit image through a sequence of states.
Conway’s Life discoveries, search tools, and physical Life constructions have their own Conway’s Game of Life collection.
