🧪 Transcendent Existence Transcendence Simulation

This simulation investigates a system that continuously creates and sustains itself with no central controller: a cyclic cellular automaton, where every cell on a grid cycles through K states in a fixed rock-paper-scissors order and advances only when enough neighbors already occupy the next state in the cycle. Seeded from pure random noise, this simple local rule spontaneously organizes into rotating spiral "demons" — a textbook example of self-organization and emergence, where global structure with no blueprint arises purely from identical local interactions. Tune the number of states, the excitation threshold and the sensing radius to see the transition from disordered noise to stable, endlessly self-regenerating spiral waves, the same class of dynamics that governs Belousov–Zhabotinsky chemical spirals and re-entrant cardiac arrhythmias.
