Coral Blastema: Epigenetic Regeneration Cascade
Interactive 3D coral colony where wounding triggers a cell-state cascade — dedifferentiation into stem-like i-cells, proliferating blastema, and redifferentiated tissue — gated by a tunable epigenetic-accessibility model with environmental stress and bleaching risk.
A branching coral colony rendered as an instanced lattice of polyps, wounded on demand to trigger a real cell-state cascade: healthy tissue dedifferentiates into stem-like i-cells near the wound, i-cells become a proliferating blastema, and the blastema recolonises the dead sites with redifferentiated tissue — all gated by a tunable epigenetic-accessibility model driven by damage severity, environmental stress, and chromatin plasticity, with bleaching as a competing failure mode.
Wound a 3D branching coral colony and watch a real cell-state cascade unfold — healthy polyps dedifferentiate into stem-like i-cells, form a proliferating blastema, and rebuild the wound as redifferentiated tissue, gated by a tunable epigenetic-accessibility model with environmental stress and bleaching risk.
