Artificial Life V001
Uploaded by
Description:
Artificial Life experiment 001 using Cellular Automata. Starting with a single cell the Automata replicates a new cell into a selected position by evaluating the population of cells active in the immediate neighborhood. The program has only 2 cell types and a few different render states indicating the current condition of each cell.
The System displays emergent behavior and the capacity for Universal Computation. Each cell type requires the other cell type to be active in its local 8 cell neighborhood in order to replicate. A mutual dependency then develops in the system producing incredible emergent behavior.
The Automata code was written in "processing software", an open source JAVA programming environment.
