Zeroth Condition

Deterministic computational art and research archive.

Philosophy

Governed, Not Generated.

This project rejects the use of stochastic generation, neural networks, and diffusion models in favor of artifacts derived from explicit mathematical laws.

Deterministic Policy

Numerical determinism is mandatory. All results must be reproducible from an initial condition, governing equations, and a deterministic parameter path. Code must be transparent and double-precision.

Structure

  • core/: Shared utilities.
  • universes/: Individual simulation systems.
  • outputs/: Artifact directory.

Build Instructions

mkdir -p builds
cd builds
cmake ..
make

Run Instructions

U001 — Emergent Instability

cd universes/U001-emergent-instability
../../builds/universes/U001-emergent-instability/U001_sim configs/parameters.json
python3 python/render_stream.py

U002 — Gravitational Assembly

cd universes/U002-gravitational-assembly
mkdir -p build && cd build && cmake .. && make
cd ..
./build/u002_sim
python3 python/detect_stages.py
python3 python/video.py

Universes

  • U001 — Emergent Instability: Reaction-diffusion systems exploring forced topological collapse.
  • U002 — Gravitational Assembly: N-body systems exploring the bifurcation between collapse and convergence.

Reproducibility

Every output is reproducible. The exact state is defined by the governing equations and parameters specified in each universe's configuration file.
