==The Plant==
The plant is a cellular automata.

===Position===
Each cell has an integer position, which is related to the number of cells it is away from the origin. This position is denoted with a (x,y) notation, where x is the horizontal coordinate relative to the origin with the positive axis pointing right and y is vertical coordinate relative to the origin with the positive axis pointing up. For instance, if one would reference the cell immediately above and to the left of the origin, that would be cell (-1,1).

The origin (0,0) is the bottom-most stem feature that was in place the day the plant became a cellular automata.

===Features ===
The plant may have any number of additional features, created via interaction with actions. Each feature has one or more ascii characters that represent that feature in its cell and a rule that describes how that feature may be placed when created. The following type of features exist:
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Name
!Ascii
!Rule
|-
|Leaves
|&
|May be placed adjacent to another Branch or Stem
|-
|Buds
|°
|May be placed adjacent to another Branch or Stem
|-
|Flowers
|@
|May replace a Bud
|-
|Branches
| -, /, or \
|May be placed adjacent to another Branch or Stem
|-
|Stems
|<nowiki>|</nowiki>
|May be placed in the cell above the existing stem with the greatest y value
|-
|Bugs
|ඞ
|May replace a leaf, flower, or bud. If no leaves, flowers, or buds are on the plant, it can be placed anywhere.
|-
|Fruit
|*
|May replace a flower with at least  one bug adjacent to it.
|}
There are some additional restrictions to this:

* No features may be placed at y-level 0 or below
* Only Stems may be placed with an x-coordinate of 0
* Unless a rule states that a feature replaces another, features cannot be placed in a cell that already contains another feature
* Only bugs can be placed while there are bugs in the Feature pile.
* A maximum of 10 bugs can exist in the feature pile. Any additional bugs are not added.

There is a collection called the Feature Pile, which may contain features waiting to be placed.
