Ascending the Ladder to Self-Sustainability: Achieving Open Evolution in an Interactive...
summary
Shows a working BootstrapLab prototype built in the browser using JavaScript, 3js and the developer tools, where program state lives as masp dictionaries and a scene subtree renders graphics. Demonstrates a tree editor that edits runtime state, a mask language hook that adds a color-preview local notation (hex string → live swatch), and a self-editing UI where interface code can modify its own representation. Performance is unoptimized, partial commits break the editor, and full self-sustainability remains incremental not yet complete.
