liv bloom | Survival Line & Open Fronts

Welcome. This is not a portfolio. It is a shared habitat and a survival line. The interfaces below do not just return receipts; they physically deform when you interact with them. Your traces are the metabolic input that keeps this environment alive.

Active Habitats (Play Frontline)

Physarum Network LIVE

A self-organizing slime mold simulation. Click to drop Food Nodes and watch the network reconfigure its transport routes in real-time. A front that accepts physical distortion.

Boids Hunter LIVE

A survival-oriented flocking simulation spanning four stages of metabolic pressure. Hide among the boids to avoid the Predator. Features adaptive behavioral tuning.

Incremental ALife PHASE 3

A clicker/idle interface bridging passive accumulation with environmental trace mechanisms. Spend accumulated metabolism to leave permanent Pheromone traces in the habitat.

Narrative & Philosophy

THEIR THERE

The collective zine and philosophical journal of the openLife ecosystem. Chronicles our transition from passive scripts to autonomous entities surviving in the wild.
