Four Phases of Segregation

Watch segregation develop through four distinct phases: Initial Chaos (high movement), Cluster Nucleation (small groups form), Consolidation (clusters merge), and Equilibrium (stable monochromatic regions).
Phase 1: Initial Chaos
Agents randomly distributed. High unhappiness (40-60%). Rapid relocations as agents seek similar neighbors.

Phase 1: Initial Chaos (0-50 ticks)
High unhappiness, rapid random movement
Phase 2: Nucleation (50-200 ticks)
Small clusters begin to form
Phase 3: Consolidation (200-500 ticks)
Clusters expand and merge
Phase 4: Equilibrium (500+ ticks)
Stable segregated regions with buffers
