Prebiotic Functional Programs: Endogenous Selection in an Artificial Chemistry
Devansh Vimal, Cole Mathis, Westley Weimer +1
Artificial chemistry simulations produce many intriguing emergent behaviors, but they are often difficult to steer or control. This paper proposes a method for steering the dynamic…

Open, Reproducible Calculation of Assembly Indices
Devansh Vimal, Garrett Parzych, Olivia M. Smith +4
We present assembly-theory, a Rust package for computing assembly indices of covalently bonded molecular structures. This is a key complexity measure of assembly theory, a recent t…

Self-Organization in Computation & Chemistry: Return to AlChemy
Cole Mathis, Devansh Patel, Westley Weimer +1
How do complex adaptive systems, such as life, emerge from simple constituent parts? In the 1990s Walter Fontana and Leo Buss proposed a novel modeling approach to this question, b…
