Recent work with Lenia, a continuously-valued cellular automata (CA) framework, has yielded $\sim$100s of compelling, bioreminiscent and mobile patterns. Lenia can be viewed as a continuously-valued generalization of the Game of Life, a…
This paper presents a probabilistic extension of the well-known cellular automaton, Game of Life. In Game of Life, cells are placed in a grid and then watched as they evolve throughout subsequent generations, as dictated by the rules of the…
We investigate the dynamics of a conservative version of Conway's Game of Life, in which a pair consisting of a dead and a living cell can switch their states following Conway's rules but only by swapping their positions, irrespective of…
This project explores speculative evolution through a 3D implementation of Conway's Game of Life, using procedural simulation to generate unfamiliar extraterrestrial organic forms. By applying a volumetric optimized workflow, the raw…
Layered Cellular Automata (LCA) extends the concept of traditional cellular automata (CA) to model complex systems and phenomena. In LCA, each cell's next state is determined by the interaction of two layers of computation, allowing for…
We illustrate an application of Algorithmic Information Dynamics to Cellular Automata (CA) demonstrating how this digital calculus is able to quantify change in discrete dynamical systems. We demonstrate the sensitivity of the Block…
This paper studies complexity of recognition of classes of bounded configurations by a generalization of conventional cellular automata (CA) -- finite dynamic cellular automata (FDCA). Inspired by the CA-based models of biological and…
Deep learning techniques have recently demonstrated broad success in predicting complex dynamical systems ranging from turbulence to human speech, motivating broader questions about how neural networks encode and represent dynamical rules.…
Cellular automata have been useful artificial models for exploring how relatively simple rules combined with spatial memory can give rise to complex emergent patterns. Moreover, studying the dynamics of how rules emerge under artificial…
Previous publications by the authors put forward the argument that Lifelike Cellular Automata can be treated as a bona fide example of livingness in and of themselves, not simply a toy analogue to biological life. Traits known to be…
Cellular automata (CA) are quintessential ALife and ubiquitous in many studies of collective behaviour and emergence, from morphogenesis to social dynamics and even brain modelling. Recently, there has been an increased interest in…
We created two dimensional hexagonal cellular automata to obtain complexity. Considering the game of life rules, Wolfram's works about life-like structures and John von Neumann's self-replication, self-maintenance, self-reproduction…
We report experimental extensions of Lenia, a continuous cellular automata family capable of producing lifelike self-organizing autonomous patterns. The rule of Lenia was generalized into higher dimensions, multiple kernels, and multiple…
The classical "game of life" (GOL) due to Conway is a famous mathematical game constructed as a two-dimensional cellular automaton in which each cell is either alive or dead. A set of evolutionary rules determines whether a cell dies,…
The understanding and acceptance of evolution by natural selection has become a difficult issue in many parts of the world, particularly the United States of America. The use of games to improve intuition about evolution via natural…
Evolutionary games are a developing sub-field of game theory. This branch of game theory is used in the study of the adaptation of large, but finite, populations of agents to changes in the environment. It assumes that each agent has no…
Building upon previous results in scalar field theory, a formalism is developed that uses generalized Killing fields to understand the behavior of extended charges interacting with their own electromagnetic fields. New notions of effective…
A new formulation of special relativity is described. It is based on a postulate that the universe is a vast Cellular Automata (CA). We show that any CA model automatically leads to a maximum speed limit for the transfer of information from…
We derive, in a manifestly covariant and electromagnetic gauge independent way, the evolution law of the electric field $E^\alpha = Ee^\alpha\ (e^\alpha e_\alpha=1)$, relative to an arbitrary set of instantaneous observers along a null…
Models of areas of physics in terms of cellular automata have become increasingly popular. Cellular automata (CAs) support the modeling of systems with discrete state component values and enforce the comprehensive specification of the…
