Interaction Based Evolution of Self-Replicating Loop Structures

چکیده
We propose the ecosystem of self-replicating loops on CA by designing new rules for interactions between replicators. Here, the replicators interact with each other by forming a competition relationship (a hypercycle-like network). The spiral structure emerges in this model with in 5 species. This spiral pattern produces larger loops in the bounaries of species. Comparing with a single species case, the larger size loops can live longer and thus increase the population inspite of the disadvantage of the slow replication speed.

Spatial-Pattern-Induced Evolution of a Self-Replicating Loop Network
We study a system of self-replicating loops in which interaction rules between individuals allow competition that leads to the formation of a hypercycle-like network. The main feature of the model is the multiple layers of interaction between loops, which lead to both global spatial patterns and local replication. The network of loops manifests itself as a spiral structure from which new kinds ...
متن کاملMinimizing Complexity in Cellular Automata Models of Self-Replication
Understanding self-replication from an information processing perspective is important because, among other things, it can shed light on molecular mechanisms of biological reproduction and on prebiotic chemical evolution. Intuition, biological knowledge, and early computational models of self-replication all suggested that self-replication is an inherently complex process. In this paper we desc...
متن کاملExternally Controllable and Destructible Self-Replicating Loops
Self-replicating loops presented to date are essentially worlds unto themselves, inaccessible to the observer once the replication process is launched. In this paper we present a self-replicating loop which allows for user interaction. Specifically, the user can control the loop’s replication and induce its destruction. After presenting the design of this novel loop, we delineate its physical i...

متن کاملEvolution of Cellular Automata-Based Replicating Structures Exhibiting Unconventional Features
Replicating loops represent a class of benchmarks, which is commonly studied in relation with cellular automata. Most of the known loops, for which replication rules exist in two-dimensional cellular space, create the copies of themselves using a certain construction algorithm that is common for all the emerging replicas. In such cases, the replication starts from a single instance of the loop ...
