LASED Multi-Seed

Runs one LASED swarm per seed point and merges the edge fields (element-wise max) and masks (union) into a full-image contour map.

Inputs (16)

Name	Type	Default	Description
image	IMAGE		—
seeds	STRING	64,64; 192,128	Spawn points as 'x,y; x,y; ...' in input-image pixels. Each point gets its own swarm and target colour.
tolerance	FLOAT	40.01–250	Colour tolerance (tau). Lower = tighter region. Lab distances run smaller; try 10-25 there.
ants	INT	2501–5000	—
steps	INT	6001–20000	Simulation ticks. More steps = cleaner, more complete contours.
color_space	COMBO	rgb	3 options: rgb, weighted, lab
hand	COMBO	both	Wall-following handedness; 'both' splits the swarm into clockwise and counter-clockwise cohorts.
beta	FLOAT	4.00.1–12	Softmax temperature. Higher = greedier edge following.
epsilon	FLOAT	0.050–0.5	Random-move floor; prevents the swarm freezing.
seed	INT	00–18446744073709550000	—
mode	COMBO	masking	classic: MASK = thresholded edge pheromone. masking (Stage 2): MASK = sticky-latched, gap-closed, despeckled contour.
mask_threshold	FLOAT	0.150.01–0.95	classic mode only: threshold on the normalised edge map for the MASK output.
sticky_threshold	FLOAT	0.200.05–0.6	masking mode: latch a cell when its edge pheromone crosses this fraction of the field maximum.
freeze_after	INT	00–20000	masking mode: freeze (and clean) the mask after this many ticks. 0 = run all steps, then freeze.
no_decay	BOOLEAN	false	masking mode: stop edge-pheromone evaporation entirely.
max_side	INT	5120–4096	Downsample the longest side to this for simulation (0 = full resolution). Outputs are resampled back.
