Simulation parameters

The following simulation parameters are used. The list is constantly updated as new parameters are added over time.

Parameter					Type	Explanation
cell				min token usages	integer	Specifies the minimum value of how often a cell can process a token.
				token usage decay probability	real	If a cell has processed more tokens than specified in min token usages, it decays with the specified probability.
				min distance	real	The minimum distance between two cells so that they do not destroy each other.
				max distance	real	The maximum distance between two connected cells.
				max force	real	Specifies the maximum force on a cell so that it will not be destroyed.
				max force decay probability	real	If the velocity change of a cell exceeds max force, it decays with the given probability.
				max bonds	integer	The maximum number of connections a cell can make with others.
				max token	integer	The maximum number of tokens a cell can carry.
				max token branch number	integer	Specifies the number of possible token branch numbers. E.g. a value of 6 means that a cell can have a token branch number between 0 and 5.
				min energy	real	The minimum energy a cell must have to exist.
				transformation probability	real	The probability with which a cell turns into an energy particle when it no longer has sufficient energy.
				fusion velocity	real	The relative collision speed of two cell clusters so that they can fuse provided new cell connections are possible on the touching cells.
cell	function	computer		max instructions	integer	The maximum number of machine instructions that a computer can execute. Each instruction requires 3 bytes in a fixed cell memory.
				memory size	integer	The size of the usable memory on the cell. Note that the instructions are encoded in an extra memory.
		constructor	offspring	cell energy	real	The energy that a constructed cell should receive from its constructor cell.
				cell distance	real	The distance of the constructed cell from the constructor cell.
				token energy	real	The energy of a token created on the constructed cell.
			mutation probability	token data	real with range [0,1]	If a token is created on the constructed cell, it specifies the probability that a byte in the token memory is randomly changed.
				cell data	real with range [0,1]	Specifies the probability that a byte in the cell memory is randomly changed after an execution of the cell function.
				cell property	real with range [0,1]	Specifies the probability that any of the following construction data (obtain from token memory) are randomly changed: max connections of the new cell token branch number of the new cell color of the new cell type of cell function of the new cell construction option
				cell structure	real with range [0,1]	Specifies the probability that any of the following construction data (obtain from token memory) are randomly changed: distance of the new cell from a possibly previously constructed cell angle between the new cell, the constructor cell and a possibly previously constructed cell
		sensor		range	real	The radius of the range of the sensor.
		weapon		strength	real with range [0,1]	The percentage of energy that is maximally transferred from the attacked cell.
				energy cost	real	The energy cost of performing cell function, regardless of success. It will be emitted as particle.
		communicator		range	real	The radius of the range of the communicator to send signals to communicators of other cells.
token				memory size	integer	Size of the token memory.
				min energy	real	The minimum energy a token requires to exist. If its energy drops below this value, the token is destroyed and its energy is transferred to the current cell.
radiation				exponent	real	The energy radiation per time step is given by the formula α*e^p, where e is the energy value of the cells (including the energy of the associated tokens) and p is the radiation exponent.
				factor	real	The radiation factor corresponds to α from the above formula.
				probability	real	For performance reasons, an energy particle is not emitted in every time step, but only with this specified probability. However, the probability does not affect the averaged amount of radiated energy in a longer period of time. This is realized as follows: A low probability is compensated by a stronger radiation.
				velocity multiplier	real	The velocity of the energy particles is determined by the velocity of the emitting cell times this multiplier plus a random perturbation.
				velocity perturbation	real	See above.
