Mode 4 · Smooth Particle Network

Conway rules rendered as a calmer force-directed particle system. The logic updates discretely, while the visual network drifts organically.

Network Spread: controls the overall volume that the particle system uses.
Organic Smoothness: makes the network calmer by increasing damping, reducing newborn jump, and avoiding force reheating on every Conway step.
Node Size: scales the visible particles. Older cells are naturally larger.
Depth Effect: gives stronger front/back separation by changing brightness and size.
Link Distance: controls how long the neighbor-connection lines want to be.
Link Strength: controls how tightly connected cells pull together.
Repulsion: pushes particles apart and opens the network.
Links: shows or hides neighbor relationships. If the population becomes too large, links hide automatically for performance.
