Life and Evolution in Computers 1 Computers and Life
- …Can we build computers that are intelligent and alive? This question has been on the minds of computer scientists since the dawn of the computer age and remains a most compelling line of inquiry. Some would argue that the question makes sense only if we put scare quotes around “intelligent ” and “al…

Format for Final Paper
- …Your final paper should have a title, the names of the team members, and the following sections. The length should be about 10–20 pages, but these numbers are flexible; the goal is to sufficiently describe your project and results. Figures and graphs are very welcome.…

Analogy-Making as a Complex Adaptive System
- …This paper describes a computer program, called Copycat, that models how people make analogies. It might seem odd to include such a topic in a collection of papers mostly on the immune system. However, the immune system is one of many systems in nature in which a very large collection of relatively …

A Complex-Systems Perspective on the "Computation vs. Dynamics" Debate in Cognitive Science
- …I review the purported opposition between computational and dynamical approaches in cognitive science. I argue that both computational and dynamical notions will be necessary for a full explanatory account of cognition, and give a perspective on how recent research in complex systems can lead to a m…

Complex systems: Network thinking
- …(To appear in Artificial Intelligence.) I am convinced that the nations and people who master the new sciences of complexity will become the economic, cultural, and political superpowers of the next century. —Heinz Pagels [50] When I hear the word “complexity, ” I don’t exactly reach for my hammer, …

Theories of Structure Versus Theories of Change
- …The dynamics/computation debate recalls a similar debate in the evolutionary biology community concerning the relative primacy of theories of structure versus theories of change. I argue that a full account of cognition will require a rapprochement between such theories, and will include both comput…

Computation in Cellular Automata: A Selected Review
- …Introduction Cellular automata (CAs) are decentralized spatially extended systems consisting of large numbers of simple identical components with local connectivity. Such systems have the potential to perform complex computations with a high degree of efficiency and robustness, as well as to model …

Complex Systems Theory and Evolution
- …A “complex system ” is a group or organization which is made up of many interacting parts. Archetypal complex systems include the global climate, economies, ant colonies, and immune systems. In such systems the individual parts—called “components ” or “agents”— and the interactions between them ofte…
