We model some of the crucial properties of biological novelty generation, and abstract these out into minimal requirements for an ALife system that exhibits constant novelty generation (open ended evolution) combined with robustness. The requirements are an embodied genome that supports runtime metaprogramming (‘self modifying code’), generation of multiple behaviours expressible as interfaces,...
