They're all organisms

By Robin Dowling · 10 months ago

I didn't want to have separate definitions for plants and animals. Or for there to even be a notion of that. I wanted the evolution to come up with that on its own, if that was what were to be randomly evolved over time.

Instead I added an attribute for whether the organism was motile or not. Motile, as in able to move around on purpose. What really is the difference from a Venus flytrap and a "walking stick" Phasmid? In terms of genetics.

A lot, I'm sure. But in the end, there is no natural genetic flag for plant or animal. These are just interpretations made by us humans.

Either way, I made all organisms be the same, but with different genetics, the motile genetic marker carrying heavily in the taxonomy classification, effectively dividing motile (animals) and sessile (plants) organisms into two different taxonomy domains.
