Microcosmos: Reimagining Artificial Life for the GPU Era
Mark Tensen, Ciaran Regan, Bert Wang-Chak Chan +3
Most artificial life simulators either operate on abstract substrates disconnected from physical reality, or simulate physically grounded worlds that do not scale to the population…
Flow-Lenia: Emergent evolutionary dynamics in mass conservative continuous cellular automata
Erwan Plantec, Gautier Hamon, Mayalen Etcheverry +3
Central to the artificial life endeavour is the creation of artificial systems spontaneously generating properties found in the living world such as autopoiesis, self-replication,…
Discovering Sensorimotor Agency in Cellular Automata using Diversity Search
Gautier Hamon, Mayalen Etcheverry, Bert Wang-Chak Chan +2
The research field of Artificial Life studies how life-like phenomena such as autopoiesis, agency, or self-regulation can self-organize in computer simulations. In cellular automat…
Meta-Diversity Search in Complex Systems, A Recipe for Artificial Open-Endedness ?
Mayalen Etcheverry, Bert Wang-Chak Chan, Clément Moulin-Frier +1
Can we build an artificial system that would be able to generate endless surprises if ran "forever" in Minecraft? While there is not a single path toward solving that grand challen…
Towards Large-Scale Simulations of Open-Ended Evolution in Continuous Cellular Automata
Bert Wang-Chak Chan
Inspired by biological and cultural evolution, there have been many attempts to explore and elucidate the necessary conditions for open-endedness in artificial intelligence and art…
Flow-Lenia: Towards open-ended evolution in cellular automata through mass conservation and parameter localization
Erwan Plantec, Gautier Hamon, Mayalen Etcheverry +3
The design of complex self-organising systems producing life-like phenomena, such as the open-ended evolution of virtual creatures, is one of the main goals of artificial life. Len…
Lenia and Expanded Universe
Bert Wang-Chak Chan
We report experimental extensions of Lenia, a continuous cellular automata family capable of producing lifelike self-organizing autonomous patterns. The rule of Lenia was generaliz…
Lenia - Biology of Artificial Life
Bert Wang-Chak Chan
We report a new system of artificial life called Lenia (from Latin lenis "smooth"), a two-dimensional cellular automaton with continuous space-time-state and generalized local rule…
