Evolutionary Innovation Viewed as Novel Physical Phenomena and Hierarchical Systems Building
Tim Taylor
In previous work I proposed a framework for thinking about open-ended evolution. The framework characterised the basic processes required for Darwinian evolution as: (1) the genera…
The Importance of Open-Endedness (for the Sake of Open-Endedness)
Tim Taylor
A paper in the recent Artificial Life journal special issue on open-ended evolution (OEE) presents a simple evolving computational system that, it is claimed, satisfies all propose…
An Overview of Open-Ended Evolution: Editorial Introduction to the Open-Ended Evolution II Special Issue
Norman Packard, Mark A. Bedau, Alastair Channon +4
Nature's spectacular inventiveness, reflected in the enormous diversity of form and function displayed by the biosphere, is a feature of life that distinguishes living most strongl…
Evolutionary Innovations and Where to Find Them: Routes to Open-Ended Evolution in Natural and Artificial Systems
Tim Taylor
This paper presents a high-level conceptual framework to help orient the discussion and implementation of open-endedness in evolutionary systems. Drawing upon earlier work by Banzh…
Evolution in Virtual Worlds
Tim Taylor
This chapter discusses the possibility of instilling a virtual world with mechanisms for evolution and natural selection in order to generate rich ecosystems of complex organisms i…
Digital Genesis: Computers, Evolution and Artificial Life
Tim Taylor, Alan Dorin, Kevin Korb
The application of evolution in the digital realm, with the goal of creating artificial intelligence and artificial life, has a history as long as that of the digital computer itse…
Requirements for Open-Ended Evolution in Natural and Artificial Systems
Tim Taylor
Open-ended evolutionary dynamics remains an elusive goal for artificial evolutionary systems. Many ideas exist in the biological literature beyond the basic Darwinian requirements…
Artificial Life and the Web: WebAL Comes of Age
Tim Taylor
A brief survey is presented of the first 18 years of web-based Artificial Life ("WebAL") research and applications, covering the period 1995-2013. The survey is followed by a short…
WebAL-1: Workshop on Artificial Life and the Web 2014 Proceedings
Tim Taylor
Proceedings of WebAL-1: Workshop on Artificial Life and the Web 2014, held at the 14th International Conference on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems (ALIFE 14), New Yo…
