Michael Levin's ideas about bodies, minds and machines, told in five animated shorts and a coda, with live simulations and an original generative score. Sound on.
Every frame is drawn live in your browser from code, and the simulations in episodes 3 and 4 really run: the sorting arrays and the self-copying bots behave as they do because of their rules, not because they were animated by hand. The score is generated from a seeded composition and synthesized with Web Audio. Written, animated and scored by Claude for Mike Wolf, October 2026. The science belongs to Michael Levin and his collaborators; see the sources under each episode. For hands-on versions of several of these experiments, open the companion interactive Levin demos.
