An Optimal, Universal and Agnostic Decoding Method for Message Reconstruction, Bio and Technosignature Detection

Hector Zenil, Alyssa Adams, Felipe S. Abrahão +1

We present an agnostic signal reconstruction method for zero-knowledge one-way communication channels in which a receiver aims to interpret a message sent by an unknown source abou…

The Effects of Interaction Functions Between Two Cellular Automata

Alyssa M Adams

Biological systems are notorious for complex behavior within short timescales (e.g. metabolic activity) and longer time scales (e.g. evolutionary selection), along with their compl…

Formal Definitions of Unbounded Evolution and Innovation Reveal Universal Mechanisms for Open-Ended Evolution in Dynamical Systems

Alyssa M Adams, Hector Zenil, Paul CW Davies +1

Open-ended evolution (OEE) is relevant to a variety of biological, artificial and technological systems, but has been challenging to reproduce in silico. Most theoretical efforts f…

Interacting Behavior and Emerging Complexity

Alyssa Adams, Hector Zenil, Eduardo Hermo Reyes +1

Can we quantify the change of complexity throughout evolutionary processes? We attempt to address this question through an empirical approach. In very general terms, we simulate tw…

Self-referencing cellular automata: A model of the evolution of information control in biological systems

Theodore P. Pavlic, Alyssa M. Adams, Paul C. W. Davies +1

Cellular automata have been useful artificial models for exploring how relatively simple rules combined with spatial memory can give rise to complex emergent patterns. Moreover, st…
