What we are is more than what we do
Larissa Albantakis, Giulio Tononi
If we take the subjective character of consciousness seriously, consciousness becomes a matter of "being" rather than "doing". Because "doing" can be dissociated from "being", func…
A macro agent and its actions
Larissa Albantakis, Francesco Massari, Maggie Beheler-Amass +1
In science, macro level descriptions of the causal interactions within complex, dynamical systems are typically deemed convenient, but ultimately reducible to a complete causal acc…
When is an action caused from within? Quantifying the causal chain leading to actions in simulated agents
Bjørn Erik Juel, Renzo Comolatti, Giulio Tononi +1
An agent's actions can be influenced by external factors through the inputs it receives from the environment, as well as internal factors, such as memories or intrinsic preferences…
How swarm size during evolution impacts the behavior, generalizability, and brain complexity of animats performing a spatial navigation task
Dominik Fischer, Sanaz Mostaghim, Larissa Albantakis
While it is relatively easy to imitate and evolve natural swarm behavior in simulations, less is known about the social characteristics of simulated, evolved swarms, such as the op…
The Role of Conditional Independence in the Evolution of Intelligent Systems
Jory Schossau, Larissa Albantakis, Arend Hintze
Systems are typically made from simple components regardless of their complexity. While the function of each part is easily understood, higher order functions are emergent properti…
Markov Brains: A Technical Introduction
Arend Hintze, Jeffrey A. Edlund, Randal S. Olson +9
Markov Brains are a class of evolvable artificial neural networks (ANN). They differ from conventional ANNs in many aspects, but the key difference is that instead of a layered arc…
