Reasoning with Neural Cellular Automata
Mayalen Etcheverry, Pietro Miotti, Aidan Sirbu +7
Modern AI architectures used to solve visual reasoning tasks typically rely heavily on global connectivity and synchronization. As biological systems demonstrate, though, sophistic…
Tapes Together Strong: The Co-evolution of Computation and Cooperation
Kunal Jha, Francesco Cicala, Blaise Agüera y Arcas +4
How does cooperation evolve in complex agentic systems? Prior work in evolutionary game theory studies why individuals are incentivized to cooperate by isolating social interaction…
Diffusion as a Training Curriculum for Timestep-Free Iterative Reasoning
Mariia Drozdova, Aidan Sirbu, Pietro Miotti +4
Diffusion models and recursive reasoners are both iterative, but they carry information across iterations differently. We add a persistent hidden state to a diffusion denoiser and…
Coevolution of self-replication and function in a digital primordial soup
Francesco Cicala, Eyvind Niklasson, Ettore Randazzo +8
While traditional evolutionary algorithms hard-code reproduction, self-replication can emerge spontaneously within digital ``primordial soups''. This paper investigates the coevolu…
