1. The Complexity And Artificial Life Research Concept For Self-Organizing Systems Introduction to complex systems and selforganisation by CALResCo - International Research Group http://www.calresco.org/

Welcome to for Self-Organizing Systems This site is dedicated to modern systems thinking in all its various forms an on-line educational activity of CALResCo , for scientist, artist and humanist, young and old Click here to read our Complex Systems teachings Specialisms Generalisms Applications ... Site Search Facility Here we will introduce the integrating sciences of Complex Systems and of ALife together with related systems areas. We'll also pursue the wider social implications of these transdisciplinary theories of self-organization on mind, art, spirit and life as it could be... Are these the eagerly awaited questions behind "Life, the Universe and Everything" ? Not quite... Even our infinite improbability drive can't take you there. But on this site, effects drive causes, answers pose the questions, science and values merge and we take trips into strange new worlds, travelling in an unreal Phase Space within hidden dimensions. Fiction ? You may well think so. Yet everything here is pure science, with lots of art and philosophy thrown in free, reflecting what's striking and best in recent research (our own and that of others) in the new contextual sciences of Complexity Theory plus associated fields. This is the creative and very human world of tomorrow.

Synopsis: Creating machines that we cannot completely control, and then putting them in charge of critical aspects of our lives, poses risks whose consequences we may not have the luxury of contemplating afterward. We need to consider the seldom discussed moral, ethical, and religious questions raised by intelligent machines that will be able to think and feel, so we can make informed decisions about the kind of future we want to live in. The book is written for a general but scientifically curious audience, particularly those interested in mankind’s future, machine intelligence, morality, ethics, cognitive science, science and society, science policy, religion, and the philosophy of science.

'Creation: Life and how to make it' is a not a book by on onlooker by an exponent of creating artificial life. Steve Grand is the main mind behind the Creatures series and has now set up Cyberlife Research to explore new ideas. The book seperates 'artificial life' - the building of artificial life forms, and A-Life, the study of life like systems. This is not a book about aLife (there are better books for this) but, as Steve tells it, a Zen guide to how to be a digital god. Available from Amazon.co.uk . More books here Creaturelabs get networked and bugged out. Creaturelabs - where Steve Grand used to work and did gave birth to norns, is currently developing several exciting projects, the most visible being the Docking Station . This free to download and networked addition to the creatures stable. Also rumoured in preperation is a more adult 3D artificial life project intelligent toys. Think of the latter as more active (and probably more intelligent) version of Sony's Abio but with wheels.

The DCU Artificial Life Laboratory [Home] Director: Dr. Barry McMullin (Last updated: 7th March 2001) ... I do not really believe that we shall succeed in creating life artificially; but after having reached the moon and landed a spaceship or two on Mars, I realize that this disbelief of mine means very little. But computers are totally different from brains, whose function is not primarily to compute but to guide and balance an organism and help it to stay alive. It is for this reason that the first step of nature toward an intelligent mind was the creation of life, and I think that should we artificially create an intelligent mind, we would have to follow the same path.

Artificial Life is a field of scientific study that attempts to model living biological systems through complex algorithms. Scientists use these models to test and experiment with a multitude of factors on the behavior of the systems. We artists here at Fusebox see these algorithms as a starting point for a new artistic exploration where the interactivity is not only between the user and the computer program but within the computer system itself. We are just beginning to explore. Enjoy. Fusebox Artists, 03.22.99 alife@fusebox.com

Table of Contents General The Artificial Life section contains the Floys (alife creatures) in various versions, written in Java VML/DHTML and Tcl/tk . A Floys screen saver is also available. All source code is free to download . The Dolls Gallery section contains pictures of 3D assemblage works based on small dolls. The Experiments section contains experiments in web design, XML and VML . The Miscellaneous section contains some personal info and other uncategorized topics. Artificial Life Floys Territorial Critters Floys - Social, Territorial, Evolving Alife Animals: Floys are simple Artificial Life creatures implemented in Java VML (DHTML) , and Tcl/Tk . Their life-like emergent behavior is dictated by a few very simple, local rules. They extend the family of Boids-like programs by adding an aggressive territorial behavior towards strangers. Genetic Algorithms GA Playground - Genetic algorithms toolkit in Java: The GA Playground is a general purpose GA toolkit implemented in Java, designed for experimenting with genetic algorithms and handling optimization problems. A new problem definition requires only coding of a fitness function and supplying parameters by an Ascii file (similar to Windows ini file). Cellular Automata JcaToi (Java CA with a text-oriented inteface): This Cellular Automata applet uses the classic Conway's Game of Life rules. However, the CA world (implemented here as an arbitrary background picture) is shared by two parallel, independent, overlapping CA's. It is an interactive applet, where control is achieved through clicking on textual links rather then by the orthodox use of buttons and menus. This enables a friendlier and more descriptive user interface, not limited by the shorthand language of button and menu captions.

15. Non-Cartesian Cognitive Science Essays and many useful links on embodied and 'situated' approaches to cognition ranging from artificial life to Phenomenology, and much else. http://www.magneticfields.org/sky/aarc/noncartesian.html

Non-Cartesian Cognitive Science Traditional Cognitive Science is Cartesian in the sense that it takes as fundamental the distinction between the mental and the physical, the mind and the world, the subject and the object. It is this Cartesianism which leads to such claims as that cognition must be representational and that what sets cognizers apart is the fact that they exhibit "aboutness". It is the aim of this page to bring together non-Cartesian approaches to the study of cognition. That means that the main point which holds this page together is the idea that mind and body form a unity , not a union. Guttorm Floistad (1983) speaks of Spinozism to allude to non-Cartesian approaches to the mental. Under that heading, there is room for many different themes. Here's a short overview: Conscious Experience and Phenomenology Cartesianism, in its materialist guise, leads to the view that consciousness is an epiphenomenon, that qualia have no causal efficacy. Such a counterintuitive claim does not have to be held by the Spinozist, so she will be interested in the actual content of experiences. Body A direct implication of the claim that mind and body form a unity is that when there is talk of the mind, there must be talk of the body as well. Experiential content is rooted in bodily structure.

Avida Software What is Avida? Versions Manuals Installation ... FAQ IMPORTANT NOTE: Avida is in flux. Version 2.0 will be released very soon, and the entire website will be reorganized. Please bear with us. (2002-Sept-7) What is Avida? The computer program avida is an auto-adaptive genetic system designed primarily for use as a platform in Digital or Artificial Life research. The avida system is based on concepts similar to those employed by the tierra program developed by Tom Ray. It is a population of self-reproducing strings with a Turing-complete genetic basis subjected to Poisson-random mutations. The population adapts to the combination of an intrinsic fitness landscape (self-reproduction) and an externally imposed (extrinsic) fitness function provided by the researcher. By studying this system, one can examine evolutionary adaptation, general traits of living systems (such as self-organization), and other issues pertaining to theoretical or evolutionary biology and dynamic systems. This site is meant for those people interested in using avida as a tool for themselves. It includes the most up-to-date versions of the software (currently at 1.6.0), as well as instructions on how to use this software and information about problems people have encountered.

19. THE THIRD CULTURE Collected works and ideas of intellectuals whose work bridges the gap that C.P. Snow identified as existing between traditional intellectuals and the sciences. Topics include physics, evolutionary biology, philosophy, psychology, artificial life, chaos theory, neural nets, fractals, and others. http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/index.html

Home About Edge Features Edge Editions ... Edge Search The Third Culture The third culture consists of those scientists and other thinkers in the empirical world who, through their work and expository writing, are taking the place of the traditional intellectual in rendering visible the deeper meanings of our lives, redefining who and what we are. In the past few years, the playing field of American intellectual life has shifted, and the traditional intellectual has become increasingly marginalized. A 1950s education in Freud, Marx, and modernism is not a sufficient qualification for a thinking person in the 1990s. Indeed, the traditional American intellectuals are, in a sense, increasingly reactionary, and quite often proudly (and perversely) ignorant of many of the truly significant intellectual accomplishments of our time. Their culture, which dismisses science, is often nonempirical. It uses its own jargon and washes its own laundry. It is chiefly characterized by comment on comments, the swelling spiral of commentary eventually reaching the point where the real world gets lost. In 1959 C.P. Snow published a book titled The Two Cultures. On the one hand, there were the literary intellectuals; on the other
