PHIDS is a deterministic, headless simulation engine for plant-herbivore dynamics built around a data-oriented ECS and grid cellular automata model.

Highlights

• Deterministic simulation loop with explicit tick control.
• NumPy and SciPy powered continuous-space diffusion layers.
• Numba-accelerated global flow-field gradient generation.
• FastAPI REST and WebSocket interface for runtime control and streaming.
• Polars telemetry aggregation and export.
