Dynamics of Darwinian versus Baldwinian versus Lamarckian evolution
Kristoffer Reinholt Thomsen, Steen Rasmussen
In recent years, studies in epigenetic inheritance in biological systems as well as studies on evolution in non-biological systems e.g., machine learning and robotics, have reopene…
Human wealth evolution: trends and fluctuations
Paolo Sibani, Steen Rasmussen
Is a causal description of human wealth history conceivable? To investigate the matter we introduce a simple causal albeit strongly aggregated model, assuming that the observed wea…
An Overview of Open-Ended Evolution: Editorial Introduction to the Open-Ended Evolution II Special Issue
Norman Packard, Mark A. Bedau, Alastair Channon +4
Nature's spectacular inventiveness, reflected in the enormous diversity of form and function displayed by the biosphere, is a feature of life that distinguishes living most strongl…
Sequence selection by dynamical symmetry breaking in an autocatalytic binary polymer model
Harold Fellermann, Shinpei Tanaka, Steen Rasmussen
Template directed replication of nucleic acids is at the essence of all living beings and a major milestone for any origin of life scenario. We here present an idealized model of p…
Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Self-Replicating Protocells
Harold Fellermann, Bernat Corominas-Murtra, Per Lyngs Hansen +3
We provide a non-equilibrium thermodynamic description of the life-cycle of a droplet based, chemically feasible, system of protocells. By coupling the protocells metabolic kinetic…
Sequence selection in an autocatalytic binary polymer model
Shinpei Tanaka, Harold Fellermann, Steen Rasmussen
An autocatalytic pattern matching polymer system is studied as an abstract model for chemical ecosystem evolution. Highly ordered populations with particular sequence patterns appe…
