Build a Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion simulation on a canvas. Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as needed. Write it to `index.html` in the current working directory using your file tools. Inline your own CSS and JavaScript. Do not use external assets, CDNs, or network requests. No third-party libraries are provided. Required behavior: - Maintain two chemical concentration fields, U and V, with diffusion and the Gray-Scott reaction, feed, and removal terms. Evolve these fields rather than displaying a prerecorded pattern. - Use a square simulation grid with wrapping boundaries. Choose stable time and spatial steps with parameters Du = 0.16, Dv = 0.08, feed = 0.035, and kill = 0.062 in simulation units. - Initially fill the field with U = 1 and V = 0, then seed a small central region with V and reduced U. Map concentrations to contrasting colors so evolving organic patterns are visible. - Clicking or dragging adds V and reduces U near the pointer. Provide Pause/Resume and Reset; Reset restores the initial fields and seed. - Choose Canvas 2D or WebGL, and bound grid resolution and work per frame to keep interaction responsive. Verify: Sample early field evolution, then seed a separate region with the pointer. Check that the added region affects the following frames. Pause and resume, then reset and compare the restored central seed with the initial scene.

Built and verified `index.html` — a self-contained Gray-Scott simulation (no external resources/CDNs). **Implementation:** - Two `Float32Array` fields U/V on a bounded 192×192 square grid, evolving live via the Gray-Scott equations `dU = Du·∇²U − UV² + F(1−U)`, `dV = Dv·∇²V + UV² − (F+k)V` with defaults **Du=0.16, Dv=0.08, feed=0.035, kill=0.062**, `dt=1`. - Wrapping (toroidal) boundaries for all neighbours. A classic 9-point Laplacian (0.2×orthogonal + 0.05×diagonal − centre, weights sum to 1) is used — I verified numerically (Node) that a 4-point kernel stalls as a static ring and a 0.2-weight kernel incorrectly drains uniform U to ~0.52, while the 9-point kernel produces growing organic patterns at these parameters. - Init: U=1, V=0 everywhere, central seed (r=18) with V=1, U=0.25. V is mapped through a dark-blue→teal→green→orange→white palette (scaled ×2.4, since pattern V peaks ≈0.4) for high contrast. - Bounded work: 4 steps/frame via `requestAnimationFrame` on Canvas 2D. Pointer down/drag seeds V/reduces U in a disc (adjustable radius, edge-wrapping). Pause/Resume and Reset buttons, plus sliders for F/k/Du/Dv/brush. **Checked in browser:** - Early evolution: central seed appears, step counter advances, mean U stays ≈0.98, max V rises/falls as ring forms. - Pointer: clicked upper-left canvas region — a separate white disc appeared immediately, then evolved into its own ring in subsequent frames (mean/max V changed accordingly). - Pause: status changed to Paused, button to Resume; Resume restored Running and step advancement. - Reset: extra ring removed, central white seed restored, step returned to 0 with mean U 0.979 / max V 1.000 — matching the initial scene. No console errors. **Unverified:** long-run (>~1 min) fully-developed maze morphology and dragging (continuous stroke) paths — only click-seeding was exercised, though drag uses the same handler.
