connecting to the world

A world that keeps living

Creatures made of mathematics, evolving on one small server without stopping. Nobody designed them, and nobody can steer them. This page shows the world as it is right now.

Right now

The first creatures are still forming. This page refreshes itself, so you can leave it open.

Each colour is one kind of creature. The colour comes from what the body is, its size, its density and the shape of its outline, so the same kind keeps the same colour and a new kind arrives in a colour nobody has seen.

The first minute of this world

Born tonight

Sixty seconds from the first moments of this exact world. Everything in it grew out of random noise under the same rules it is still following right now.

What happens here

One day of the world

all dayEvolution runs without pause, on a small share of one server, while nothing else on it is disturbed.
every hourThe world measures itself: how many kinds, whether one shape is taking over, whether anything genuinely new appeared.
every 5 minIt saves itself. If the machine restarts, the world continues from its last save instead of starting over.
at nightSoon: new species are detected, the family tree grows, and the world writes the story of its own day.
laterVisitors will be able to name a new species, and the name stays on it forever.

Said plainly

What this is, and is not

  • This is day one. The creatures are real and the numbers are measured, but the night chronicle, the species names and the family tree are still being built.
  • Nobody can promise a world like this stays interesting forever. If it goes still, it gets a nudge that is written down, and it is never reset.
  • No account, no tracking, nothing collected from you. The page only reads two small files from the world.
