Morphogen gradient (French flag)

Quantitative claim

One genome reads a single morphogen gradient into three spatial fate stripes; the emergent stripe boundaries land at the radii the genome's thresholds predict from the closed-form gradient.

This reproduction runs as an automated quantitative check in the CI test suite. If the result drifts out of tolerance, the build fails.

Describe a variation of this experiment and the engine runs it live - no signup needed.

Built in Go - agent-based, deterministic, with versioned recordings the web player reads back. Genome-driven fate, no chemical kinetics.
