Equilibrium flow: From Snapshots to Dynamics
Yanbo Zhang, Michael Levin
Scientific data, from cellular snapshots in biology to celestial distributions in cosmology, often consists of static patterns from underlying dynamical systems. These snapshots, w…
Neural cellular automata: applications to biology and beyond classical AI
Benedikt Hartl, Michael Levin, Léo Pio-Lopez
Neural Cellular Automata (NCA) represent a powerful framework for modeling biological self-organization, extending classical rule-based systems with trainable, differentiable (or e…
Open Questions about Time and Self-reference in Living Systems
Samson Abramsky, Wolfgang Banzhaf, Leo S. D. Caves +5
Living systems exhibit a range of fundamental characteristics: they are active, self-referential, self-modifying systems. This paper explores how these characteristics create chall…
What Lives? A meta-analysis of diverse opinions on the definition of life
Reed Bender, Karina Kofman, Blaise Agüera y Arcas +1
The question of "what is life?" has challenged scientists and philosophers for centuries, producing an array of definitions that reflect both the mystery of its emergence and the d…
Topological constraints on self-organisation in locally interacting systems
Francesco Sacco, Dalton A R Sakthivadivel, Michael Levin
All intelligence is collective intelligence, in the sense that it is made of parts which must align with respect to system-level goals. Understanding the dynamics which facilitate…
