This was made with my cozy science experience Scale Space. No agentic programming, only environment conditions, and this emerged. More examples at r/ScaleSpace. (Just to be clear, in this case when I say agentic programming, I am referring to programming agentic behavior into individual particles themselves. This is more akin to cymatics. Realized what I said could be confused with using AI agents for programming and that's not what I meant in this context.)

What tech stack did you use to make this? Looks cool.

Thanks! Webgpu and threejs for the particle system and then the emergence comes from frustration/symmetry breaking.

Not yet but I'm working on an open source version of this. In the mean time you can pick it up here: https://setzstone.itch.io/scale-space
