Presentation)
- The Problem
- ABM's and Novelty
- Closed vs. Open Agents
- Novelty and (Dynamic?) Hierarchy
- A Model (Hand Waving?!)
- Conclusion...
- Naturalistic Axiom (Computer Models)
- (Coda: Indeterminism is not enough...)
- von Neumann Complexity (and its growth)
- Proof-of-principle: Biosphere
- Agents, Agent-state, Micro-state
- Macrostates
- Microstate Novelty?
- Macrostate Novelty?
- Open-ended (perpetual) Novelty?
- Closed:
- Pre-specified behavioral repertoire
- Evolution in (pre-specified) parameter space
- Open:
- ``Programmable'' Agents (Tierra et al)
- Pre-specified Agent Interfaces
- Artificial Chemistries
- Closed ABM
- Novel (emergent, hierarchical, macroscopic) agents
- Open agent behaviors and interfaces?
- Any old AC will not do!
- Cf. SCL (computational autopoiesis)
- The Ansatz (Rasmussen et al)?
- ``Artificial'' LMA? (molbugs...)
- Put your Model where your Mouth is! -- Bedau, 2002.
