Towards the Implementation of Evolving Autopoietic Artificial Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report modifications to the SCL model(McMullin and Varela, 1997), an artificial chemistry in Swarm designed to support autopoietic agents. The aim of these modifications is to improve on the longevity of the agents and to implement growth. We demonstrate by means of two simulation runs that the improvements indeed have the desired effects.

Autopoietic automata: Complexity issues in offspring-producing evolving processes
We introduce a new formal computational model designed for studying the information transfer among the generations of offspring-producing evolving machines — so-called autopoietic automata. These can be seen as nondeterministic finite state transducers whose “program” can become a subject of their own processing. An autopoietic automaton can algorithmically generate an offspring controlled by a...
متن کاملDeterministic Autopoietic Automata
In 2001, van Leeuwen and Wiedermann [1] have defined evolving interactive systems, in particular sequences of interactive finite automata with global states, to model infinite computations on an ever changing machine or system of machines. Modern computation does not just happen on an individual machine for a fixed time, but it goes on forever over an unbounded number of software and hardware c...
متن کاملAutopoiesis and Cognition in the Game of Life
Maturana and Varela's notion of autopoiesis has the potential to transform the conceptual foundation of biology as well as the cognitive, behavioral, and brain sciences. In order to fully realize this potential, however, the concept of autopoiesis and its many consequences require significant further theoretical and empirical development. A crucial step in this direction is the formulation and ...
متن کاملAnticipatory Artificial Autopoiesis CYBERNETICS
1 In examining relationships between autopoiesis and anticipation in artificial life (Alife) systems it is demonstrated that anticipation may increase efficiency and viability in artificial autopoietic living systems. This paper, firstly, gives a review of the Varela et al [1974] automata algorithm of an autopoietic living cell. Some problems in this algorithm must be corrected. Secondly, a new...
متن کاملPoint of view of the agricultural information system towards organic products: the central district county of BoyerAhmad
Different approaches with regard to environmental protection and mitigation of negative impacts of development plans have been proposed during past decades. Organic agriculture as a production system is one of these. It applies minimum amount of artificial fertilizer, pesticides and additive hormones input. Taking into consideration Iran’s specific geographic, economic and social conditions, th...
