🌊 Diffusion -- Morphogen Gradient Visualizer
Simulate morphogen diffusion across graph topologies and watch concentration gradients form -- the spatial coordination layer that lets distributed agents sense their position.
What to Try
- Open the Linear Chain tab, set the Source Node and Diffusion Steps sliders, and click Run Diffusion to watch concentration spread from the source along a line of nodes.
- Switch to the Topologies tab and select different graph shapes (Star, Ring, Grid, Binary Tree) to see how network structure shapes gradient formation.
- In the Competing Sources tab, place two morphogens at different nodes and run diffusion to observe overlapping gradients and competition zones.
How It Works
A DiffusionField manages a graph where MorphogenSource objects emit signals that spread to neighbors, decay over time, and clamp at saturation. Each node's local concentration maps to the MorphogenGradient API, giving agents position-aware strategy hints -- like how cells in a developing embryo read morphogen concentrations to determine their fate.
