Snowflake Evolution Lab v0.1.0
Snowflake Evolution Lab v0.1.0 is the first public research release.
Research result
Across five independently evolved anaerobic MuLTEE populations, cellular aspect ratio and biomass-weighted mean cluster radius were positively associated in every lineage over 600 transfers. Population-level Spearman coefficients range from 0.923 to 0.967 (median 0.956). Under the frozen limited sign model, five concordant positive signs correspond to 0.03125.
Included

- Python 3.10–3.13 CI, CodeQL, dependency audit, and GitHub Pages
Scientific boundary
This is a transparent reanalysis of published source data, not an independent wet-lab replication. Association through time does not prove that elongation alone caused larger size, identify a universal threshold, or reconstruct the historical origin of multicellular organisms. Exploratory size and shape jumps do not occur in a consistent temporal order.
