Research question
What model-level ecological behaviours emerge when replication is guided by a spatial template?
Method
Twelve experiment groups examine replication, competition, spatial organization, and parameter-dependent regimes.
Key results
- The report maps several simulated replicator-ecology regimes.
- Template guidance is analyzed as a model mechanism rather than a biological claim.
Limitations
The system is a numerical reaction–diffusion model and does not establish experimental replication or living systems.
This work is a numerical proof-of-concept. It establishes model-level behaviour under the stated assumptions and does not replace independent laboratory validation.
