lenia-swarm docs

Use this map to navigate Lenia Swarm research framing, contracts, configs, internals, and decisions.

Lanes

• universe/: conceptual language, ontology, interpretation, and research framing.
• contracts/: executable interfaces and guarantees (CLI, schema, artifact layout, reproducibility rules).
• configs/: configuration families and canonical entry files.
• internals/: implementation details tied directly to source files.
• decisions/: ADRs that capture the rationale for durable structure choices.

Use universe for research framing, contracts for durable interfaces, configs for run inputs, and internals for implementation details.

LeniaCLI and LeniaStudio own computation. spctr surface owns preservation and publication of declared surfaces such as lenia-compendium.
