Optimal Seeding and Self-Reproduction from a Mathematical Point of View

Artificial Intelligence 2022-12-13 v2

Abstract

P. Kabamba developed generation theory as a tool for studying self-reproducing systems. We provide an alternative definition of a generation system and give a complete solution to the problem of finding optimal seeds for a finite self-replicating system. We also exhibit examples illustrating a connection between self-replication and fixed-point theory.
