What are NCAs?

Neural Cellular Automata are tiny neural networks that control how each pixel evolves based on its neighbors. Each pattern you see is a living simulation.

The Evolution

Vote for the most interesting patterns. When enough votes are cast, evolution triggers:

• Top patterns survive and spawn offspring
• Mutations create variations
• New patterns are born from combining winners

Your Curator Score

You earn points based on how well your picks perform:

• +1 point for each vote you cast
• Bonus points when patterns you voted for survive evolution
• Discovery bonus if you're the first to vote for a future champion

Tips

Look for patterns with dynamic movement, interesting structures, or unique color combinations. The best curators spot winners early!
