Emergence is a simulation tool that demonstrates how complexity arises from basic rules. The app lets you watch patterns develop in real-time, with controls to play, step through, reset, and adjust simulation speed. Built by modlit, a software studio focused on science and engineering applications, the tool was created using AI coding assistance to bring a decades-old concept to interactive life.
