Figure 4. Cancer growth dynamics in Lenia.

(A) Average cell density over time for varying kernel sizes, for deterministic and stochastic Lenia. Averages over stochastic runs are shown in dotted lines and individual trajectories are shown in translucent lines. ODE solution (shown in blue) matches simulation with a well-mixed kernel. (B) State of field at half maximal capacity for different kernel sizes for Stochastic Lenia (SL) or Deterministic Lenia (DL). Density potential and Growth distribution shown in inset. (C) State of field at progressive time points for kernel size 4 for deterministic and stochastic Lenia. (D) Kernels used in models in figures (B).
