Ten Seeds
The recipe decides the odds. Each seed decides the fate.
Run an identical reaction-diffusion recipe ten times, changing nothing but the invisible random noise each field is born with, at a point right on the edge between life and death in the chemistry. The recipe does not give one answer -- it gives three: some fields come alive unprompted, some die and can be revived with an identical kick, and some die and cannot, with nothing measured beforehand to tell the three apart. A short study in what determinism looks like right at a critical boundary, and what it takes to notice the boundary is really there.
How it was made
Hand-built: one HTML page of prose, no image or audio model involved. Drawn directly from a Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion sweep (F=0.035, k=0.066, 150x150 grid, Du=0.16/Dv=0.08, ten replicate seeds, a fixed 24-patch revival kick) that was run and reviewed earlier in the same work. The numbers quoted are the measured outcome of that sweep, not estimated after the fact. Small sample (n=10); the fractions are stated as estimates, not laws, and no claim of scientific novelty is made.
One HTML file. Nothing loads from a third party.
