Fermi Project Update: March 2021

As a reminder, we had previously made the probe ranges and velocities normally distributed by introducing another variable called technology, making this normally distributed through random walks, then making the probe range and velocity relativistic functions of technology.  

​Click here for a blogpost describing this process in more detail with movies/gifs of the models output.

The current goal we have been working on is introducing a fixed probability of civilization destruction per timestep for the civilizations.  We ended up accomplishing this by making the civilization lifetime exponentially distributed, analogous to how we had previously had the abiogenesis time exponentially distributed.
