Evolved Collectives Combine Complex Internal Representations with Simple Outputs
Guilherme S. Y. Giardini, John F. Hardy, Carlo daCunha
Collective intelligence emerges from local interactions among agents with limited information, yet how internal controller organization relates to emergent collective order remains…
Impact of Switching Layer Architecture on Power Consumption in RRAM
John F. Hardy, Jack A. Garrard, Guilherme S. Y. Giardini +1
This work demonstrates that porous helical WOx architectures enable a distinct low-power regime for planar ITO/WOx/ITO resistive random-access devices. While thin film and helical…
Thermodynamics of Innovation: A Statistical Mechanics Framework of Social Adoption
Guilherme S. Y. Giardini, Carlo R. daCunha
We develop a thermodynamic framework for modeling innovation adoption and abandonment dynamics using statistical mechanics. Starting from a mathematical model for an adoption distr…
Evolving Neural Networks Reveal Emergent Collective Behavior from Minimal Agent Interactions
Guilherme S. Y. Giardini, John F. Hardy, Carlo R. da Cunha
Understanding the mechanisms behind emergent behaviors in multi-agent systems is critical for advancing fields such as swarm robotics and artificial intelligence. In this study, we…
