Reflecting on open-ended evolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a computationally reflective object-oriented architecture suitable for incorporating open-ended innovation and emergent entities into simulations. This allows emergent properties to be reified into objects. This requires modifying the model, and the metamodel, by incorporating novel classes and metaclasses dynamically. The classes and metaclasses are modified by including them in the model through reflection. We argue that such computationally reflective introduction of novelty is necessary for true open-ended simulations.

Identifying Necessary Conditions for Open-Ended Evolution through the Artificial Life World of Chromaria
A full understanding of open-ended evolutionary dynamics remains elusive. While artificial life worlds have been proposed to study such dynamics and tests have been devised to try to detect them, no theory yet has enumerated the key conditions that are essential to inducing them. The aim of this paper is to further such an understanding by hypothesizing four conditions that are essential for op...
متن کاملOpen-Ended Artificial Evolution
Of all the issues discussed at Alife VII: Looking Forward, Looking Backward, the issue of whether it was possible to create an artificial life system that exhibits open-ended evolution of novelty is by far the biggest. Of the 14 open problems settled on as a result of debate at the conference, some 6 are directly, or indirectly related to this issue. Most people equate open-ended evolution with...
متن کاملIdentifying Necessary Components for Open-Ended Evolution
A central goal of the field of artificial life is to build evolving systems that capture interesting dynamics of natural systems, producing evolutionary outcomes such as sophisticated navigation behaviors, novel cooperative strategies, complex ecosystems, or major evolutionary transitions, to name but a few. Such “open-ended” systems are sought after for a number of reasons: 1) For artificial l...
متن کاملCO2 adsorption on the surface and open ended of Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs): A Comparative study
Adsorption of CO2 on the surface of Single-wall zigzag (5,0) and armchair (4,4) carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were studied through using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Optimizations of geometric were performed at the B3PW91 level of 6-311++G** method standard basis set using GAUSSIAN 03 package of program [1]. Structural models were optimized and adsorption energies, band gap, charge...
