artificial-life op• Data kinds: image → image
• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "alife_life_step", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

*The figure is the real output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output (a non-image return value is shown as the value itself).*
Life-like totalistic cellular automaton (Conway-family B/S rules).
The image is thresholded at 0.5 to obtain the initial live/dead lattice, then
a totalistic outer-neighbourhood rule is applied on the torus: a dead cell is
born when its live Moore-neighbour count lies in the birth set B, a live cell
survives when its count lies in the survival set S. `a` picks the rule
preset -- Conway B3/S23, HighLife B36/S23, Day&Night B3678/S34678, Seeds B2/S
-- and `b` sets the generation count 1 + int(9b). Returns the live-cell
field as 0.0/1.0.

• The canonical algorithm (author, year) and its uses are named in the family usage guide above.
The program below has been verified to run (same input as the figure). In Studio's help this block becomes buttons that load and run it on the spot.
