multicellularity

This repository contains the software used in the paper "Evolution of Autopoiesis and Multicellularity in the Game of Life" (see turney-autopoiesis-revised.pdf).

A local artificial-life laboratory where a compact regulatory genome develops into a multicellular body and nervous system, then lives, learns, reproduces and evolves in a 2D ecosystem. This is the first reference release of the project plan. The renderer is separate from the deterministic Python core. It is an abstract synthetic model for experim

A Linux program for conducting computational evolution experiments examining the conditions that promote the entrenchment of multicellularity and its mechanistic basis.

Reproducible research and an interactive lab on the evolution of macroscopic multicellularity
