The Affordance is the Message: Creative Media as Complex Systems
Ane Espeseth, Elias Najarro
The affordances of a creative medium strongly condition the creative artefacts the medium will produce. In this work, we present a formalisation of computational creativity (CC) me…
Conversable Complexity: Agentic LLM Collectives as Interpretable Substrates
Elias Najarro, Ane Espeseth, Eleni Nisioti +2
Complexity and interpretability rarely coincide: systems rich enough for complex behaviours to emerge are usually too opaque to question, while transparent ones are too simple for…
Learning Developmental Scaffoldings to Guide Self-Organisation
Milton L. Montero, Elias Najarro, Jakob Schauser +1
From subcellular structures to entire organisms, many natural systems generate complex organisation through self-organisation: local interactions that collectively give rise to glo…
Solving Inverse Problems in Stochastic Self-Organizing Systems through Invariant Representations
Elias Najarro, Nicolas Bessone, Sebastian Risi
Self-organizing systems demonstrate how simple local rules can generate complex stochastic patterns. Many natural systems rely on such dynamics, making self-organization central to…
From Text to Life: On the Reciprocal Relationship between Artificial Life and Large Language Models
Eleni Nisioti, Claire Glanois, Elias Najarro +7
Large Language Models (LLMs) have taken the field of AI by storm, but their adoption in the field of Artificial Life (ALife) has been, so far, relatively reserved. In this work we…
Towards Self-Assembling Artificial Neural Networks through Neural Developmental Programs
Elias Najarro, Shyam Sudhakaran, Sebastian Risi
Biological nervous systems are created in a fundamentally different way than current artificial neural networks. Despite its impressive results in a variety of different domains, d…
