Extractions: ARTIFICIAL LIFE Artificial Life is devoted to a new discipline that investigates the scientific, engineering, philosophical, and social issues involved in our rapidly increasing technological ability to synthesize life-like behaviors from scratch in computers, machines, molecules, and other alternative media. By extending the horizons of empirical research in biology beyond the territory currently circumscribed by life-as-we-know-it , the study of artificial life gives us access to the domain of life-as-it-could-be . Relevant topics span the hierarchy of biological organization, including studies of the origin of life, self-assembly, growth and development, evolutionary and ecological dynamics, animal and robot behavior, social organization, and cultural evolution.
Elton, Matthew
I work mainly on issues within the philosophy of mind, with a particular interest in how disciplines such as psychology, ethology, artificial intelligence, and artificial life can illuminate our understanding of what it is to be a rational, selfconscious agent.

More Readings Artificial Life ("AL" or "Alife") is the name given to a new discipline that studies "natural" life by attempting to recreate biological phenomena from scratch within computers and other "artificial" media. Alife complements the traditional analytic approach of traditional biology with a synthetic approach in which, rather than studying biological phenomena by taking apart living organisms to see how they work, one attempts to put together systems that behave like living organisms.
Evolving AI-Life By Natural Selection (Alastair Channon's Artificial Life)
Alastair Channon's artificial life project.
http://www.channon.net/alastair/

Extractions: Research Overview Of The Area Software Selected Publications ... Contact Details A new approach to creating intelligence, rooted in Artificial Life and Natural Selection rather than traditional AI. Computational natural selection, in which the phenotype to fitness mapping is an emergent property of the evolving environment and competition is biotic rather than abiotic, is a paradigm that aims towards the creation of open-ended evolutionary systems. Within such an environment, increasingly complex behaviours can emerge. Darwinism is the most powerful and unifying theory in biology. Underlying it is the principle of 'descent with modification' (evolutionary change), that species are not fixed: that new species arise from those which already exist, some of which become extinct. The theory can be summarised as four statements of fact and an inference (cf. chp. 12 of Gould's "Life's Grandeur" / "Full House"): All organisms tend to produce more offspring than survive.

Get A-Life: Introduction
An overview essay on some aspects of artificial life.
http://www.infidels.org/~meta/getalife/index.html

Extractions: If you've ever engaged in debate with a creationist, you'll know that they can be extremely slippery. One of their favorite tactics is to claim that evolution is "just a theory" because it cannot be scientifically demonstrated. (Of course, it's not as if any of the stuff they believe can be scientifically demonstrated, but let's forget that minor detail.) The question of what constitutes scientific proof is what's really at stake. We can prove that evolution is scientifically valid by looking at the fossil record, DNA evidence, and lab data from genetics experimentsbut Creationists will claim that evidence like that is insufficient, or even invalid. They will claim that to demonstrate the proof of a theory, it must be possible to demonstrate the entire theory, right there before their very eyes. This is clearly an unreasonable demand. There's no serious doubt that dinosaurs once existed, even though I can't actually show you a diplodocus grazing quietly in a field. For that matter, there's no serious intellectual debate about whether the Second World War actually happened, even though I can't actually show you Germany invading Poland, or let you ask Hitler why he decided to do so. Nevertheless, there's something vaguely dissatisfying about deducing how animals evolved by looking at the imprints their skeletons left in a rock. It would be much more exciting if we could demonstrate new species appearing from nowhere; or if we could demonstrate self-reproducing entities appearing by pure random chance.

Center For Complex Systems Research
Founded in 1986, the Center for Complex Systems Research studies systems that display adaptive, selforganizing behavior and systems that are usually characterized by a large throughput, such as turbulent flow, lightning, and the flow of information through the internet. Models and techniques drawn from nonlinear dynamics and chaos, neural nets, cellular automata, artificial life, and genetic algorithms are then developed to describe these complex systems. A collection of technical reports and scientific publications of CCSR researchers is available.

Extractions: Last updated: Fri Dec 1 22:23:55 2000 Research Topics Miscellaneous evolutionary robotics Are robots technical devices that have to be developed and controlled by a human engineer, or could robots also develop and control themselves autonomously? Traditional robotics that uses Artificial Intelligence planning techniques to program robot behaviors works toward the first, while the Autonomous Robotics approach suggest that the second is a possibility. The robots built according to this approach should be able to adapt to both uncertain and incomplete information in constantly changing environments. At least two different techniques to reach this goal can be identified. One is to imitate the learning process of a single natural organism. Another, called Evolutionary Robotics, is to reproduce the phylogenetic evolution on populations of robots. Evolutionary Robotics lets a simulated evolution process develop adaptive robots. By applying selective reproduction on a population of robots the simulated evolution process is directly inspired by the Darwinian evolution theory.

Artificial Life As Philosophy
artificial life as Philosophy. Daniel C. Dennett Center for Cognitive Studies for artificial life, vol 1, no. 1 1994 artificial life as Philosophy.
http://ase.tufts.edu/cogstud/papers/alifephl.htm

Extractions: Artificial Life as Philosophy There are two likely paths for philosophers to follow in their encounters with Artificial Life: they can see it as a new way of doing philosophy, or simply as a new object worthy of philosophical attention using traditional methods. Is Artificial Life best seen as a new philosophical method or a new phenomenon? There is a case to be made for each alternative, but I urge philosophers to take the leap and consider the first to be the more important and promising. Philosophers have always trafficked in thought experiments, putatively conclusive arguments about what is possible, necessary, and impossible under various assumptions. The cases that philosophers have been able to make using these methods are notoriously inconclusive. What "stands to reason" or is "obvious" in various complex scenarios is quite often more an artifact of the bias and limitations of the philosopher's imagination than the dictate of genuine logical insight. Artificial Life, like its parent (aunt?) discipline, Artificial Intelligence, can be conceived as a sort of philosophythe creation and testing of elaborate thought experiments, kept honest by requirements that could never be imposed on the naked mind of a human thinker acting alone. In short, Artificial Life research is the creation of prosthetically controlled thought experiments of indefinite complexity. This is a great way of confirming or disconfirming many of the intuitions or hunches that otherwise have to pass as data for the sorts of conceptual investigations that define the subject matter of philosophy. Philosophers who see this opportunity will want to leap into the field, at whatever level of abstraction suits their interests, and gird their conceptual loins with the simulational virtuosity of computers.

Extractions: Pushing the boundaries of scientific illustration... Bring your exhibits to life! By utilizing advances in the game technology industry, 3d graphics hardware, and artificial life research, Digital Biology has developed proprietary computer animation software for creating real-time, photo-realistic interactive simulations of biological phenomena that push the boundaries of scientific illustration. The end result is multimedia content that is both highly entertaining and educational These custom simulations are designed to run on affordable desktop computers without the need for expensive, specialized hardware, and can be optionally displayed on large, high resolution screens for a captivating viewer experience. These simulations can also be continuously updated and customized to reflect exhibitor needs, and they provide the ideal medium for visualizing hard-to-observe natural phenomena or difficult-to-explain biological concepts. They can even be used to 'bring to life' extinct fauna. Key features of these simulations include: real-time interaction among organisms as well as between organisms and the viewer
