Draft:Particle Life

Submission declined on 19 August 2025 by Chaotic Enby (talk). This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are: in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject) reliable secondary independent of the subject Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window. If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.

An computer science / mathematical phenomenon that has been widely discussed.

Particle Life is an artificial life simulation where particles with asymmetric attraction-repulsion forces generate self-organizing patterns that resemble biological behaviors.

Overview

Developed from Jeffrey Ventrella's "Clusters" system (2017)^[1] and popularized as "Particle Life" by HackerPoet in 2018,^[2] the simulation demonstrates emergence through non-reciprocal particle interactions—particle type A may attract type B while B repels A. This asymmetry produces complex behaviors including cell-like structures, swarming, and dynamic clustering. The system has become a subject of academic research in artificial life and complexity science.^[3]
