🧪 Transcendent Biotech Infinite Life Simulation

This simulation grows a live colony of cells in 3D, each one carrying its own telomere length. Every division shortens a cell's telomeres a little, exactly as the end-replication problem does in real chromosomes, until the Hayflick limit is reached and the cell becomes senescent — alive but permanently non-dividing. Dial telomerase activity up and the colony stops aging out: divisions keep going indefinitely, the same mechanism that lets germline cells, stem cells and roughly 90% of cancers achieve unbounded replicative "immortality," balanced only by a constant background rate of programmed cell death.
