Seed the field
A readable seed initializes both the habitat and its random sequence.
AUTONOMOUS ECOLOGY / RULE-DRIVEN / REPEATABLE
Grow the rule.
Watch life answer.
Set a seed and environmental laws. Virelia runs a deterministic habitat in your browser, preserving both flourishing cells and failed branches.

METHOD / 002
Not a picture.
A living equation.
Each generation samples neighboring cells through a seeded random stream. Growth, scarcity, mutation and competition alter the same underlying system without hiding failed states.
Set the pressures
Four explicit controls shape reproduction, variance, resource loss and local conflict.
Preserve the record
Export the seed, rules, generation and metrics as a JSON field record.
FIELD NOTES / 003
What the habitat reveals
Abundance can erase structure.
High growth fills space quickly, but the resulting habitat may become visually uniform and fragile.
Failure becomes topology.
Resource pressure creates corridors and isolated islands. Decayed cells remain visible in the record.
Difference needs room.
Mutation expands diversity only when competition and scarcity leave enough viable territory.
FAQ / 004
Before you call it alive.
Is this an on-chain deployment?+
No. Virelia is currently a deterministic browser laboratory. It makes no deployment or token claim.
Can I reproduce a habitat?+
Yes. Reuse the same seed and the same four rules, then advance to the same generation.
What does the export contain?+
The JSON record includes the seed, parameters, generation, counts, calculated metrics and timestamp.
