Show HN: Neural Particle Automata

The lead

Neural CAs model self-organizing pattern formation on grids. Each cell is an agentic particle that can move freely in space and change its state.

Why this counts

While each particle follows a simple shared rule, many together can grow complex morphologies or form intricate patterns. The resulting particle system as a whole can regenerate from damage and exhibits surprising emergent behavior.
