Quantum Vault Overview

Quantum Vault is a simulated environment designed to study the evolution of simple cellular life forms under controlled conditions. The vault models a population of one billion digital cells, each represented by a genome—a string of digits encoding their traits. These cells inhabit a virtual 2D space and undergo processes akin to biological evolution, including reproduction, mutation, and adaptation.

The environment introduces random "cataclysms"—disruptive events that significantly reduce the population size. These challenges promote the survival of the most adaptable cells, providing insights into the role of specific genetic changes over time.

The primary goal of the vault is to uncover patterns in how genetic traits evolve under various stresses, ultimately aiming to identify "evolution genes" that drive adaptability and resilience.
