Emergence of agriculture in an artificial society of reinforcement learning agents
Gautier Hamon, Martí Sánchez-Fibla, Clément Moulin-Frier +1
The origin of agriculture represents a major evolutionary transition and a paradigmatic example of how complex collective behaviors emerge from simple interactions. Here we introdu…
Neutral theory of cooperative dynamics
Jordi Piñero, Artemy Kolchinsky, Sidney Redner +1
Mutualistic interactions are widespread in nature, from plant communities and microbiomes to human organizations. Along with competition for resources, cooperative interactions sha…
Bifurcations and Phase Transitions in the Origins of Life
Ricard Solé, Manlio De Domenico
The path toward the emergence of life in our biosphere involved several key events allowing for the persistence, reproduction and evolution of molecular systems. All these processe…
Universal bounds on optimization of free energy harvesting
Jordi Piñero, Ricard Solé, Artemy Kolchinsky
Harvesting free energy from the environment is essential for the operation of many biological and artificial systems. We investigate the maximum rate of harvesting achievable by op…
Cooperative control of environmental extremes by artificial intelligent agents
Martí Sánchez-Fibla, Clément Moulin-Frier, Ricard Solé
Humans have been able to tackle biosphere complexities by acting as ecosystem engineers, profoundly changing the flows of matter, energy and information. This includes major innova…
In silico transitions to multicellularity
Ricard V. Solé, Salva Duran-Nebreda
The emergence of multicellularity and developmental programs are among the major problems of evolutionary biology. Traditionally, research in this area has been based on the combin…
