  • SproutLife

    Evolving version of Conway’s Game of Life.

    As far as "evolving towards what", here are my thoughts on the subject:

    The inspiration for SproutLife was to create an open ended genome with unlimited potential for evolution.

    The initial success was that this was possible.

    Anticlimactically, it turns out that an open ended genome in a turing complete environment does not lead to some kind of transcendent evolutionary product. The solutions that emerge are still limited by the simple problems they are tasked with.

    It is the evolutionary journey, rather than a specific destination where SproutLife can be most informative. It can be used to study the role that disruption plays as a threat to stability and a necessity for progress.

    In particular, the process of "collapse" is an interesting topic for investigation. From Covid to the popping of stock market bubbles, political upheaval, and even global warming, we are surrounded by real and potential falling of the established order. SproutLife also exhibits this kind of behavior and can let us understand how to quantify and perhaps predict it.
