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…
Computational Life: How Well-formed, Self-replicating Programs Emerge from Simple Interaction
Blaise Agüera y Arcas, Jyrki Alakuijala, James Evans +5
The fields of Origin of Life and Artificial Life both question what life is and how it emerges from a distinct set of "pre-life" dynamics. One common feature of most substrates whe…
Growing Steerable Neural Cellular Automata
Ettore Randazzo, Alexander Mordvintsev, Craig Fouts
Neural Cellular Automata (NCA) models have shown remarkable capacity for pattern formation and complex global behaviors stemming from local coordination. However, in the original i…
Growing Isotropic Neural Cellular Automata
Alexander Mordvintsev, Ettore Randazzo, Craig Fouts
Modeling the ability of multicellular organisms to build and maintain their bodies through local interactions between individual cells (morphogenesis) is a long-standing challenge…
