Abstract

We have contrived the evoloop 5, 6 , a new selfreproducing loop spontaneously evolving on a simple deterministic 9-state 5-neighbor cellular automata (CA) space. In this article, we examine the evolvability and adaptability of the evoloop through several experiments, the result of which brings us good prospects for the future implementation of an extraordinary large-scale artificial ecosystem on a superparallel machine environment. Keywords evolution, cellular automata, self-reproducing loop, structurally dissolvable self-reproducing loop 1 Introduction The motivation of this study is to frame the basis for the realization of extremely large-scale evolutionary systems by means of a set of interacting virtual state machines embedded in a cellular automata (CA) space 2 . CA is a fine-grained parallel computational model intrinsically scalable and suitable for linear enlargement of simulation size, especially by implementing it on hardware 7, 8 . If we can create artificial evolu...
