Computational Life: How Well-formed, Self-replicating Programs Emerge from Simple Interaction
Blaise Agüera y Arcas, Jyrki Alakuijala, James Evans +5
The fields of Origin of Life and Artificial Life both question what life is and how it emerges from a distinct set of "pre-life" dynamics. One common feature of most substrates whe…
Biomaker CA: a Biome Maker project using Cellular Automata
Ettore Randazzo, Alexander Mordvintsev
We introduce Biomaker CA: a Biome Maker project using Cellular Automata (CA). In Biomaker CA, morphogenesis is a first class citizen and small seeds need to grow into plant-like or…
Differentiable Programming of Chemical Reaction Networks
Alexander Mordvintsev, Ettore Randazzo, Eyvind Niklasson
We present a differentiable formulation of abstract chemical reaction networks (CRNs) that can be trained to solve a variety of computational tasks. Chemical reaction networks are…
Growing Steerable Neural Cellular Automata
Ettore Randazzo, Alexander Mordvintsev, Craig Fouts
Neural Cellular Automata (NCA) models have shown remarkable capacity for pattern formation and complex global behaviors stemming from local coordination. However, in the original i…
