Resource Sharing and Coevolution in Evolving Cellular Automata
Justin Werfel, Melanie Mitchell, James P. Crutchfield
Evolving one-dimensional cellular automata (CAs) with genetic algorithms has provided insight into how improved performance on a task requiring global coordination emerges when onl…
The Evolutionary Design of Collective Computation in Cellular Automata
James P. Crutchfield, Melanie Mitchell, Rajarshi Das
We investigate the ability of a genetic algorithm to design cellular automata that perform computations. The computational strategies of the resulting cellular automata can be unde…
Dynamics, Computation, and the "Edge of Chaos": A Re-Examination
M. Mitchell, J. P. Crutchfield, P. T. Hraber
In this paper we review previous work and present new work concerning the relationship between dynamical systems theory and computation. In particular, we review work by Langton \c…
Revisiting the Edge of Chaos: Evolving Cellular Automata to Perform Computations
Melanie Mitchell, Peter Hraber, James P. Crutchfield
We present results from an experiment similar to one performed by Packard (1988), in which a genetic algorithm is used to evolve cellular automata (CA) to perform a particular comp…
