PLAZZMID: An Evolutionary Agent-Based Architecture Inspired by Bacteria and Bees
Abstract. Classical evolutionary algorithms have been extremely successful at solving certain problems. But they implement a very simple model of evolutionary biology that misses o...

A Multi-level Selection Model for the Emergence of Social Norms
We develop a multi-level selection model in the framework of indirect reciprocity. Using two levels of selection, one at the individual level and another at the group level, we pro...

Entropy Production in Ecosystems
We present an extremely minimal ecosystem model which takes account of thermodynamic constraints on the organisms’ metabolism. This suggests a way to test the application of a hy...

Genotype Editing and the Evolution of Regulation and Memory
Our agent-based model of genotype editing is defined by two distinct genetic components: a coding portion encoding phenotypic solutions, and a non-coding portion used to edit the ...

Developmental Neural Heterogeneity Through Coarse-Coding Regulation
Abstract. A coarse-coding regulatory model that facilitates neural heterogeneity through a morphogenetic process is presented. The model demonstrates cellular and tissue extensibil...
