title: "Genesis Engine: Sequential Assembly of Biological Agency in Evolving Protocells"
abstract: >
  Computational model demonstrating that division regularity (Clock) always
  precedes pattern stability (Map) in evolving protocell populations.
  Across 500 independent 1D Monte Carlo runs and 200 independent 2D spherical
  manifold runs, the Clock-before-Map ordering held in 1165/1165 = 100% of
  runs where both phase transitions occurred, with combined binomial
  p < 10^-200 and Hedges' g = 6.34. Includes a live browser dashboard for
  1D and 2D simulations plus full Monte Carlo statistics.
