Cultural Diffusion: Culture-Space & Order-Parameter Diagrams

The 3D version of this simulator renders Axelrod's model of cultural dissemination as a grid of colored boxes seen through an orbiting camera. This 2D-native companion runs the identical interaction rule — copy a neighbor's trait with probability equal to existing similarity — but reads it through four genuinely different 2D plots: the spatial lattice itself (still necessary, since regions are spatially defined), a scatter of every agent placed by its own trait values instead of its grid position (the model's real state space), a live time series of region count and dominant-region share that exposes the model's non-monotonic dynamics, and a histogram of neighbor overlap that shows the whole population's convergence state at a glance instead of one averaged number.
