This is a very nice example of Ruliology. It suggests some "Best Practices for a piece of Ruliology":
- Begin with a concise abstract detailing the aim and scope.
- State rules, initial conditions, and methodological specifics.
- Show only the most relevant visual and quantified outcomes.
- Classify behaviors as appropriate.
- Reflect on technical/process limitations.
- Offer interpretations and propose directions for further study.
- Close with references, reproducible code, and acknowledgments.
This example showcases how a “piece of Ruliology” moves from motivation and experiment to systematic documentation and interpretation. I am adding it to the list of examples that I am curating. :-)
