plurigrid alife-commons
A single entry point that intermixes every ALife-primary skill in the repo. Edges emitted below make each family member depth-1 from this hub.
Tree decomposition of the ALIFE 2025 theme graph yields 7 bags, tree-width 2.
evolution is the universal adhesion vertex (appears in 6/7 bags).

Cross-family threading
- CRN <-> Evolution:
catalyst-chemicalmodels reaction dynamics thatalife2025papers analyze for open-endedness (Bags 1,2 in tree decomposition). - Morphogenesis <-> Evolution:
lindenmayer-systems+phyllotaxisproduce phenotypes thatjaxlife-open-endedevaluates for fitness. - Self-org <-> CRN:
autopoiesisclosure conditions map tochemical-organization-theoryorganizational closure. - Complexity <-> Evolution:
assembly-indexprovides the fitness landscape metric forskill-evolutionandprotocol-evolution-markets. - All <-> ALIFE 2025:
alife2025proceedings cover all families above; its 7-theme classification is the canonical reference.

GF(3) theme balance
From the tree decomposition (7 bags, tree-width 2):
| Bag | Vertices | Trit sum | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | evolution, emergence, CRN | +1+0-1 = 0 | balanced |
| 2 | evolution, CRN, morphogenesis | +1-1+0 = 0 | balanced |
| 3 | evolution, morphogenesis, self-replication | +1+0-1 = 0 | balanced |
| 4 | evolution, self-replication, complexity | +1-1+0 = 0 | balanced |
| 5 | evolution, complexity, cognition | +1+0-1 = 0 | balanced |
| 6 | evolution, cognition, emergence | +1-1+0 = 0 | balanced |
| 7 | emergence, CRN | +0-1 = -1 | rebalance via hub trit 0 |
Hub trit assignment: 0 (ERGODIC) — coordinator role in the triadic system.
