Evolutionary dynamics are shaped by a variety of fundamental, generic drivers, including spatial structure, ecology, and selection pressure. These drivers impact the trajectory of evolution and have been hypothesized to influence phylogenet...

Camouflage in nature seems to arise from competition between predator and prey. To survive, predators must find prey, while prey must avoid being found. A simulation model of that adversarial relationship is presented here. Camouflage patte...
Of Typewriters and PCs: How the Complication of Computers Limits Us and What to Do About It [0.03%]

PCs are complicated. Yet, being generally more effective, they have replaced typewriters in everyday life. Because of their complications, many of us wonder at PCs as if they were mysterious ghosts in the machine: entities with powers we ca...

The NK fitness landscape is a well-known model with which to study evolutionary dynamics in landscapes of different ruggedness. However, the model is static, and genomes are typically small, allowing observations over only a short adaptive ...

It is very important to model the behavior of protocells as basic lifelike artificial organisms more and more accurately from the level of genomes to the level of populations. A better understanding of basic protocell communities may help u...

The scientific fields of complexity, Artificial Life (ALife), and artificial intelligence (AI) share commonalities: historic, conceptual, methodological, and philosophical. Although their origins trace back to the 1940s birth of cybernetics...
