signal

Pheromone signaling systems for the Unstable Kernel ecosystem. Handles chemical communication between agents via grid-based signal fields.

Architecture

Modules

Module	Purpose
grid	Multi-layer 2D signal field with diffusion and evaporation
forager	Physarum-inspired 3-sensor chemotaxis steering

Usage

use kernel_signal::grid::SignalGrid;
use kernel_signal::forager::{forager_steer, ForagerParams};

let mut grid = SignalGrid::new(1200.0, 800.0, 4.0);
grid.add_layer("food_trail", 0.1, 0.02);
grid.deposit(0, 500.0, 400.0, 1.0);
grid.step(); // diffuse + evaporate

let (fx, fy) = forager_steer(100.0, 100.0, 1.0, 0.0, &grid, &ForagerParams::default());
