Artificial Life evo-edu.org

Steiner-style network design app for systems and optimization exploration.

Systems and networks

Investigate how search and optimization can build shorter or more efficient networks.

Network Builder supports systems thinking and optimization by giving learners a way to compare candidate network layouts and their total costs.

Core questionHow can iterative search produce more efficient networks from the same set of points?
App pageStandardized evo-edu wrapper over the current implementation.
Guide statusTeacher and learner guide created in this remediation pass.
API statusArtificial-life family API prototype now available.
