Lenia reimagines cellular automata like Conway's Game of Life by introducing continuous states, space, and time, enabling the emergence of intricate, self-sustaining 'lifeforms' with unprecedented geometric complexity and resilience. Developed by Bert Wang-Chak Chan, this mathematical universe has garnered significant recognition for its ability to model lifelike behaviors far beyond discrete predecessors. Its framework of convolution kernels and growth mappings offers a fertile ground for exploring emergent complexity and the boundaries of artificial life.
