No prompts. No goals. Just physics, mutation, and selection.
AnteLab is an open-source digital evolution laboratory. Its authoritative headless engine starts from primitive inherited controllers and stable physics, then records how populations change across generations.
The reboot is under active construction. V1 is CPU-only, deterministic, and has no LLM or network dependency.
Requires CPython 3.12 and uv:
make setup
make verify
uv run antelab run experiments/foraging-genesis.yaml --output artifacts/run.jsonSee RUNNING.md for deterministic-repeatability, packaging, and performance gates. The approved architecture is in ARCHITECTURE.md.
This kernel establishes a deterministic evolutionary substrate. It does not by itself prove adaptation, intelligence, or open-ended evolution.
