Stability and Geometry of Attractors in Neural Cellular Automata
Mia-Katrin Kvalsund, James Stovold
Throughout the literature on Neural Cellular Automata (NCAs), it is often taken for granted that the systems learn attractors. This is shown through evolving the system for many ti…
Visualising the Attractor Landscape of Neural Cellular Automata
James Stovold, Mia-Katrin Kvalsund, Harald Michael Ludwig +2
As Neural Cellular Automata (NCAs) are increasingly applied outside of the toy models in Artificial Life, there is a pressing need to understand how they behave and to build approp…
Growing Reservoirs with Developmental Graph Cellular Automata
Matias Barandiaran, James Stovold
Developmental Graph Cellular Automata (DGCA) are a novel model for morphogenesis, capable of growing directed graphs from single-node seeds. In this paper, we show that DGCAs can b…
Identity Increases Stability in Neural Cellular Automata
James Stovold
Neural Cellular Automata (NCAs) offer a way to study the growth of two-dimensional artificial organisms from a single seed cell. From the outset, NCA-grown organisms have had issue…
