Biotope history
What the creatures are becoming, and the ecology they are becoming it in, sampled from what the islands published. Drawn against the world's own tick.

A creature's KIND is what it was built with; its WAY OF LIVING is what it did with it. The left line only rises. The right one falls, and zero means this island has stopped discovering while its population carries on perfectly healthily. Over 32 seeds the median island reaches zero by tick 6,000, which is a finding about these rules rather than a fault of any island.

What the creatures are becoming
The experiment, and it goes first. Everything below this describes an ecology, which is the medium rather than the subject: these islands exist to ask whether brains and bodies evolve. Nothing assigns any of it. A founder is drawn at random and every birth may add a sensor, drop one, widen its reach, grow a hidden node, or gain and lose the ability to act.

114923 samples held. This is a read model: it is rebuilt from the facts that arrive and can be deleted without losing anything, because the islands are the things that are actually alive. Rows older than thirty days are pruned.
