Live Automata Simulation

Weak model

Early grow checkpoint. It usually shows the rough structure and failure modes.

Good model

Improved model. Better reconstruction and persistence.

Seed: exactly the same convention as training: one central living cell, channels 3…N set to 1.

Zoom: keeps the current grown image as state and switches to the zoom-transition model.
