What is #BAUniC
A competition/collaboration/challenge to build/address a self-consistent fractal structure starting from simple rules and evolving to complexities of civilizations and more. Game-of-Life types of universes are fine, though anthropocentric ones are much more fun.
Why
Awesomely fun, deeply philosophical, and practical purposes that go beyond the visual or the formulas.
A worthy goal within reach of individuals and communities. Affecting our whole civilization.
How
A competition between projects meant to bring forth collaboration between the humans creating/finding those projects.
Donation based prize money pot. Donators will be rewarded with the ability to vote on the projects, proportional to the amount given. Vote price will deflate after prizes are delivered but distributed votes will always be there despite new ones. That means contributor once, voter for life.

Rules:
Projects presented need to be consistent instructions on how to reproduce the results, including instruction set (x86, ARM...), Operating System (Windows, Linux...), program (and where to get the program), and steps to get from the seeding code to the rendered results.
Final date to present projects will be November 13, and voting will end on November 25, 2016, allowing adequate time for judges to test them and reach their conclusions.
First prize will be x bitcoins/USD
2nd prize will be 3x/5, 3/5 of first prize.
3rd prize will be 2/5 of the first prize.
There will be 2 4th prizes at 3/10 of the first prize.
There will be 3 5th prizes at 1/5 of the first prize.
There will be 4 6th prizes at 1/10 of the first prize.
There will be 8 7th prizes at 1/20 of the first prize.
(5/5 + 3/5 + 2/5 + 2*3/10 + 3*1/5 + 4*1/10 + 8*1/20 = 1 + 1 + 3/5 + 3/5 + 2/5 + 2/5 = 4x first prize coins needed to fill in prizes for all winners including first prize)
There will be a maximum of 5 competitions a year, requiring at least 40 bitcoins or 20'000 USD each for a target first prize of 10 bitcoins and 5000 USD. If that cannot be reached within 1/3 of the pot, cuts to the prizes or to the number of competitive events will be made. If that can be reached within 1/3, priority will be given to self-sustainability, afterwards to the compensation of the collaborators (from volounteers previously, 2% of the prizes delivered after reaching 1/9 sustainability, for comparison Kickstarter takes 4%+3% at their stages of money accumulation) for their increased workload, then to the increasing prizes accordingly till reaching Nobel-Prize levels.

Challengers can compete with one project per category.
Projects must be consistent, open and replicable.
Formula projects must include instructions about intermediary steps.
Tutorial projects are generic instructions instead of formula-specific ones.
Tutorials here are what will change the world and bring the mathematical universe to the masses, bridging creativity and tools to bring those ideas to life.
Mandatory categories are:
1) Best Formula
2) Best Tutorial
Other suggested categories (as agreed among voters, challengers and contributors) are:
3) Best Scenery
3) Most useful formula to aid current physics understanding
3) Best Chances for Life
3) Best Chances for Civilizations
3) Closest match to Our Cosmos (atoms, stars, galaxies, dark energy...)
3) The Fractal Supercomputer
4) Finding our home in the emc2 multiverse
4) 2-way communication (Meeting the lifeforms inside the fractals)
4) Supernatural initial cause within the formula (BigBang, G0D)

Bitcoin Treasurer, Nathan Fisher of the channel Nate's Turn (ex Nate's Vlogs, unfairly taken down due to youtube copyright management) agreeing to collaborate with #BAUniC in exchange for the free promotion he will get, (with his effort directly related to the popularity of the project, therefore fair), but also supporting the idea and the possible revolutions it may cause.
To check him out (worth your time for the topics handled there, entertaining) you can go to his channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/NatesTurn/videos
As of 2016, 1 bitcoins buys 1024 votes.
After a competition, 1 bitcoin will buy twice as many votes.
Liquid democracy rules will be used to handle the votes of those who wish to see the project going on but don't trust their expertise and time to indulge in proper testing and give correct verdicts. More information here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4lkCECSBFw
