CRR dynamics in living ecosystems

Living Mathematical Ecosystems

Bee swarm forming coherent patterns around flower letters

Birds, Bees, Butterflies and Bats!

These simulations demonstrate non-Markovian swarming algorithms across multiple species. Genetic algorithms drive bees as they pollinate flowers and produce mathematically emergent honey within hives. Robins exhibit territorial behaviours, building nests on L-System trees while avoiding predators through coordinated flocking responses. Bats use their sonar to hunt moths on a moonlit sea

Butterfly metamorphosis showcases CRR phase transitions: coherence development from embryo to caterpillar, rupture during pupation, and regeneration as the adult emerges with transformed capabilities.

Each species operates through distinct CRR parameters, creating diverse behavioral patterns from the same mathematical framework. Swarm intelligence emerges from local interactions between autonomous agents, demonstrating how simple rules generate complex ecosystem dynamics.

Mathematical coral reef with fish and predator system

Marine Environments

Mathematical coral systems respond to environmental heat stress through coherence-based bleaching and recovery cycles. Fish populations interact with coral through feeding behaviours, while mathematical currents shape the fish school behaviours and movements in realtime.

Memory-enabled Reaction-Diffusion plankton systems create dynamic oceanic patterns, where phytoplankton blooms and predator-prey cycles emerge from CRR equations governing nutrient distribution and consumption.

These aquatic ecosystems demonstrate how CRR principles scale from microscopic plankton to complex reef systems, with each organism contributing to collective environmental coherence through biochemical signaling and spatial organisation.

Mycelium network growth with branching patterns

Moss & Mycelium

Memory-enabled environments simulate real-time growth of moss, mycelium, and lichen. Forest ecosystems feature L-System trees with photosynthetic processes, while mycelial networks demonstrate glucose exchange and resource distribution across interconnected hyphal networks.

High-fidelity microscopy reveals cellular-level CRR dynamics: moss gametophyte development, hyphal branching patterns, and coherence accumulation in mathematical cellular structures through non-Markovian growth processes.

These simulations capture the CRR nature of biological growth, where current development depends on accumulated historical patterns. Mycelial intelligence emerges through network topology optimisation and resource-sharing behaviours that transcend individual organism boundaries.

Storm clouds with lightning and mathematical sun

Weather Systems

Atmospheric CRR dynamics drive cloud formation, charge accumulation, and lightning discharge patterns. The system tracks real-time Coherence-Rupture-Regeneration phases as electrical potential builds in cloud systems until rupture thresholds trigger lightning strikes through optimal CRR field pathways.

Mathematical sun positioning drives convection and charge separation, while sophisticated lightning pathfinding algorithms use coherence field calculations to determine discharge routes. Thunder audio emerges from diagetic mathematical synthesis, creating authentic storm soundscapes through procedural waveform generation.

The simulation features both bolt lightning (cloud-to-ground strikes) and sheet lightning (cloud-to-cloud discharges), with interactive lightning and real-time storm parameter control. Users can observe how CRR coherence fields influence atmospheric electrical behavior and precipitation patterns. The hurricane example shows three toy models of memory-based hurricanes over Jamaica.

Fish scale iridescence and mother-of-pearl surface

Iridescence and Pearlescence

These simulations demonstrate memory-enhanced biologically realistic surface textures. Fish scale iridescence and mother-of-pearl surfaces exhibit enhanced color visibility through structural interference patterns.

Golden beetle carapaces demonstrate dynamic metallic colouration through thin-film interference, modelling the real-world Charidotella sexpunctata that actively changes from brilliant gold to dull brown through cuticle structure manipulation.

Each system was derived by the CRR framework to model coherence accumulation, rupture events, and regenerative processes. Memory integration enables temporal patterns that persist beyond immediate stimulus, creating surfaces that respond to viewing angle and variable changes.
