It's Much Easier for Neural Networks to learn Game of Life Dynamics with the Right Activation Function: Polynomial Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks
Tashin Ahmed, Q. Tyrell Davis
Previous work has found a gap between the scale of neural networks that reliably learn Conway's Game of Life, and minimal networks capable of representing the classic cellular auto…
Non-Platonic Autopoiesis of a Cellular Automaton Glider in Asymptotic Lenia
Q. Tyrell Davis
Like Life, Lenia CA support a range of patterns that move, interact with their environment, and/or are modified by said interactions. These patterns maintain a cohesive, self-organ…
Discretization-Dependent Dissolution of (Dis)Continuous Gliders: Non-Platonic Self-Organization in Complex Systems
Q. Tyrell Davis
Many simulated complex systems that support persistent self-organizing patterns, i.e. gliders, have a 'state-plus-update' paradigm. This approach can be found in computational mode…
Intention to explore the role of discretization in the emergence of self-organization in certain approximations of continuous cellular automata and other complex dynamic systems
Q. Tyrell Davis
John H. Conway's Game of Life, as well as cellular automata in the larger family of Life-like CA, are discrete: the cells have a binary state space and the birth and survival trans…
Selecting Continuous Life-Like Cellular Automata for Halting Unpredictability: Evolving for Abiogenesis
Q. Tyrell Davis, Josh Bongard
Substantial efforts have been applied to engineer CA with desired emergent properties, such as supporting gliders. Recent work in continuous CA has generated a wide variety of comp…
Step Size is a Consequential Parameter in Continuous Cellular Automata
Q. Tyrell Davis, Josh Bongard
Step size in continuous cellular automata (CA) plays an important role in the stability and behavior of self-organizing patterns. Continous CA dynamics are defined by formula very…
Glaberish: Generalizing the continuously-valued Lenia framework to arbitrary Life-like cellular automata
Q. Tyrell Davis, Josh Bongard
Recent work with Lenia, a continuously-valued cellular automata (CA) framework, has yielded 100s of compelling, bioreminiscent and mobile patterns. Lenia can be viewed as a c…
Carle's Game: An Open-Ended Challenge in Exploratory Machine Creativity
Q. Tyrell Davis
This paper is both an introduction and an invitation. It is an introduction to CARLE, a Life-like cellular automata simulator and reinforcement learning environment. It is also an…
Transport of Intensity Equation Microscopy for Dynamic Microtubules
Q. Tyrell Davis
Microtubules (MTs) are filamentous protein polymers roughly 25 nm in diameter. Ubiquitous in eukaryotes, MTs are well known for their structural role but also act as actuators, sen…
Phase imaging from defocus information in a light field
Quintin Tyrell Davis
Optical microscopy is without a doubt an essential component of life science research, but many objects of interest in biology are transparent. Chemical or immunological dyes, whic…
