Cell

ets_lower_threshold (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies a threshold number of energy tokens in a cell's Energy Token Store, below which the cell dies.
ets_leak_rate_per_timeslice (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the number of energy tokens removed from each cell's Energy Token Store at each time slice, on top of those removed for executing instructions. See Section 4.3.5.
et_value_constant (type: real number, range: any)

Partially determines the number of instructions a given cell is allowed to execute at each time slice. See Section 4.2.3.
et_value_power (type: real number, range: any)

Partially determines the number of instructions a given cell is allowed to execute at each time slice. See Section 4.2.3.
default_ets_level_of_ancestor (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the default number of energy tokens given to each inoculated ancestor program at the start of the run. This default can be overridden if a different number is specified in the ancestor.ini file for a user-defined ancestor.
number_of_energy_tokens_per_collect (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the number of energy tokens that a cell will attempt to collect from the environment for each execution of the et_collect instruction. The actual number of energy tokens collected depends upon availability. See Section 4.5.3.
max_energy_tokens_per_cell (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the maximum number of energy tokens that a cell can store in its Energy Token Store.
info_string_size_limit (type: positive integer, range: any)

Specifies the maximum length of any InfoString object in the system. This imposes an upper limit on the size of genomes, environmental messages, etc.
stack_size_limit (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the capacity (maximum number of items) of the cells' stacks.
rms_size_limit (type: non-negative integer, range: any)

Specifies the capacity (maximum number of messages) of the cells' Received Message Stores.
neighbouring_genomes_readable (type: boolean, range: {yes,no})

Specifies whether the genomes of neighbouring cells are imported as messages into the Received Message Store and checked for binding sites when a newly active promoter is searching for a binding site. See Section 4.3.7.
