A Constructive Artificial Chemistry to Explore Open-Ended Evolution

A simple Artificial Chemistry is introduced to provide an open-ended representation for the exploration of artificial evolution and has a feature-set that prioritises the needs of Artificial Life over fidelity to real-world chemistry, unlike many existing artificial chemistries.

Generalized Stochastic simulation algorithm for Artificial Chemistry

This paper proposes a computation framework and software that cancel the need for 2d space simulation in the HuAC while keeping a lot of the features of this chemistry, and relies on the Stochastic Simulation Algorithm that has been here adapted to work on graph structure.

DigiHive: Artificial Chemistry Environment for Modeling of Self-Organization Phenomena

The DigiHive system, an artificial chemistry simulation environment, and the results of preliminary simulation experiments leading toward building a self-replicating system resembling a living cell are presented, along with a discussion of possible future experiments and applications.

Artificial Life and Machine Consciousness

It is possible that artificial evolution and situated selforganizing agents could become viable tools for studying machine consciousness, but there are several issues that must be overcome.

Artificial Chemistries-A Review

It is argued here that artificial chemistries are “the right stuff” for the study of pre-biotic and bio-chemical evolution, and they provide a productive framework for questions regarding the origin and evolution of organizations in general.

Modeling Biochemical Pathways Using an Artificial Chemistry

Four models of biochemical pathways described in the artificial chemistry based on string pattern matching and recombination are illustrated, showing that the present approach has good modularity and scalability that will be useful for modeling a huge network of pathways.

Evolvable Self-Replicating Molecules in an Artificial Chemistry

Details are given of Squirm3, a new artificial environment based on a simple physics and chemistry that supports self-replicating molecules somewhat similar to DNA that concur with Dittrich, Ziegler, and Banzhaf that artificial chemistries are a good medium in which to study early evolution.

Though the Organic Builder was initially intended as a set of challenges to be tackled as a game, the users experimented with the system far beyond this and discovered several novel forms of self-replicators.

Evolutionary Learning in the 2D Artificial Life System "Avida"

It is found that the spatial geometry is conducive to the development of diversity and thus improves adaptive capabilities of a new tierra-inspired artificial life system with local interactions and two-dimensional geometry based on an update mechanism akin to that of 2D cellular automata.
