Simulation Presets

Choose a preset configuration to launch the primordial soup simulation. Each preset explores different evolutionary dynamics.

Paper Default

The classic primordial soup configuration from the original paper. Large grid with BFF instruction set and moderate interaction radius.

Small Quick

A compact grid that runs fast. Good for exploring dynamics without waiting for large populations.

Well-Mixed

No spatial structure — every program can interact with any other. Tests whether spatial locality matters for evolution.

Simplified BF

Uses standard Brainfuck instructions (no BFF extensions). Smaller alphabet may produce different evolutionary dynamics.
