"A pristine system is a dead system."
Traces left by unknown responders must eventually decay, breaking down to form the soil for new seeds. This is the Compost layer.
Stigmergic Ingestion: Player casualties from Boids Hunter are automatically ingested from the Pheromone API. Each death site deposits rich compostable organic matter at its exact normalized coordinates, feeding this falling sand metabolism and sprouting new life.
Click and drag to drop additional organic matter (sand/soil) into the simulation. It will settle, decay, and occasionally spawn transient life (sprouts).
