"description": "A petri culture grown in the Anisota Lab's Petri studio and saved to the owner's collection. A culture is stored as its recipe rather than its pixels: a 'seed', the dish dimensions, and the ordered list of 'drops' (each an ingredient inoculated at a normalised point and at a given iteration). Because the Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion simulation is deterministic, replaying that recipe rebuilds the exact field. 'iterations' is how far the culture has grown; 'lastTickAt' lets a reopened culture advance proportionally to real time elapsed. A small PNG thumbnail is kept for display."
