Opus 5.5 generates a video tutorial and playable evolution page for Wolfram's rule-based organisms

mhmazur asked Claude Opus 5.5 to explain the "ruleo-based organisms" Stephen Wolfram showed at the ARC Prize conference — minimal digital creatures built from cellular-automata rules acting as genomes. Opus produced both a tutorial video and an interactive webpage where visitors can hit "New creature" and evolve their own organisms.
A neat showcase of one-shotting a playable educational product from a fresh research concept, implicitly reproducing Wolfram's evolution rules.
