Homeodynamics in the Game of Life

چکیده
In this paper we study the emergence of homeodynamics and adaptation in a two-layer system of the Game of Life in which the Game of Life in the first layer couples with another cellular automata system in the second layer. Homeodynamics is defined here as a space-time dynamic that regulates the number of cells in state-1 in the Game of Life layer. A genetic algorithm is used here to evolve the rules of the second layer to control the pattern of the Game of Life. We discovered that there are two antagonistic attractors that control the numbers of cells in state-1 in the first layer. The homeodynamics sustained by these attractors are compared with the homeostatic dynamics observed in Daisy world.
