Self-Reproduction and Evolution in Cellular Automata: 25 Years after Evoloops
CoRR(2024)
摘要
The year of 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of evoloops,
an evolutionary variant of Chris Langton's self-reproducing loops which proved
that Darwinian evolution of self-reproducing organisms by variation and natural
selection is possible within deterministic cellular automata. Over the last few
decades, this line of Artificial Life research has since undergone several
important developments. Although it experienced a relative dormancy of
activities for a while, the recent rise of interest in open-ended evolution and
the success of continuous cellular automata models have brought researchers'
attention back to how to make spatio-temporal patterns self-reproduce and
evolve within spatially distributed computational media. This article provides
a review of the relevant literature on this topic over the past 25 years and
highlights the major accomplishments made so far, the challenges being faced,
and promising future research directions.
