Turn the temperature from 0.10 to 2.00. What happens to the order of the six candidates?
A language model scores every possible next token, divides all of those scores by one number, and then samples. That number is the temperature. The scores below are fixed; only the divisor moves.
- structure
- memory
- policy
- noise
- habit
- chance

About the work
AL.Floys is an artificial-life playground: simulations run in the browser, where a visitor can adjust parameters and see a system respond. It offers a way to encounter complex behavior through interaction rather than an animation that can only be watched.
Change a condition and compare what persists, spreads, or dissolves. The simulations are experiments in form and behavior; they do not establish that the processes they resemble are identical to living systems.
