You're invited to join me for a Cross Roads talk next week, hosted by Cross Labs in Kyoto and streaming at youtube.com/watch?v=wiZ6mY…. I'll be talking about discretization and self-organization in cellular automata and similar systems.

In @crosslabstokyo talk, Tyrell showed a bunch of examples of complex systems that depend (feed) on discretization, including Lenia, SmoothLife, Neural CA, reaction-diffusion systems, and Lorentz attractor!

For anyone who missed the stream or wants to revisit the talk, the recording will remain up on YouTube. The slides contain additional examples we didn't get to in the talk, and are available at rivesunder.github.io/non_platonic_c…

👾 What would you do if you were suddenly transported to a discretized world? 👾 Next week, Q. Tyrell Davis will show us how a certain coarse fabric of reality is necessary for agents to emerge and persist. Don't miss out! Aug 22 @ 10:30am JST 👉 youtube.com/live/wiZ6mYkKh…

@ALifeConf Is there a list of all entrants? I have a playlist of the ones I could find (youtube.com/playlist?list=…), but it was missing several of the winners.

The results of the Virtual Creatures Competition are ready: Congratulations to Christian Heinemann for the Emerging Ecosystems - Alien Project! youtube.com/watch?v=qwbMGP… The competition was tough because this year had double the submissions of previous years! Well done guys! 🤓

The update rule for this cellular automaton is based on adaptive moment estimation (adam) optimization. The RGB channels are grid states, second moment, first moment, respectively. It shares a neighborhood kernel and morphological similarities with Orbium patterns from Lenia.

adam + Orbium = adorbium

@Clement_MF_ @BertChakovsky @hamongautier @mayalen_etc @nisioti_eleni @ClementRomac @pyoudeyer @zzznah @drmichaellevin I did like that paper! Looking forward to see sensorimotor Lenia in the formal literature.

@RiveSunder @BertChakovsky @hamongautier @mayalen_etc @nisioti_eleni @ClementRomac @pyoudeyer @zzznah @drmichaellevin For now yes it is. We are finalizing a journal version that will be submitted soon. You might also be interested in this other paper from the same team, introducing mass conservation in Lenia: arxiv.org/abs/2212.07906

In this fun project, we trained artificial life using machine learning! Lenia creatures learn to survive obstacles using gradient descent (Neural CA) & curriculum learning (IMGEP), generalize well to unseen tasks. Full video + blog post + interactive demo: developmentalsystems.org/sensorimotor-l…

I came back to reaction diffusion systems and managed to get a Gray-Scott framework properly implemented. From left to right: u-glider and Daedalus from mrob.com/pub/comp/xmorp…, and a potentially new pattern in U-Skate rules I'm calling "berry cup" #alife #cellularautomata

@BertChakovsky @hamongautier @mayalen_etc @nisioti_eleni @ClementRomac @Clement_MF_ @pyoudeyer @zzznah @drmichaellevin Is the blog post still the best way to cite the sensorimotor Lenia project?

English

Bert Chan@BertChakovsky·9 Şub

Play with the demo & read the research at: developmentalsystems.org/sensorimotor-l… Thanks to Inria team @hamongautier @mayalen_etc @nisioti_eleni @ClementRomac @Clement_MF_ @pyoudeyer Special thanks to @zzznah @drmichaellevin In our next project, we may add food... 🍰🍩🍒😋

@caranha Was there a paper write-up and/or doi for the tutorial on sensorimotor Lenia?

Rive Sunder@RiveSunder·4 Tem

@ereb0s_labs These visualizations look great! I would also be interested in taking a closer look at more details if you publish the code.

Thanks for reading! Let me know if you're interested in this project. Given enough traffic I will finally take the time to implement it efficiently and open-source it. 13/13

This is a follow up on my Neural Net Controlled Cellular Automaton Engine. in the last thread I showcased the baseline and suggested some points for improvement: twitter.com/ereb0s_labs/st… I followed up on these changes and they absolutely transformed the results. 1/

Given the recent popularity of #Dalle2 and #StableDiffusion, I thought it would be fun to write a thread about a different kind of generative art. Each of the videos below is a randomly generated simulation and today I will explain about the project that created them. A 🧵! 1/

Rive Sunder@RiveSunder·1 Tem

I'm writing up recent experiments and am looking for prior art. I'll be grateful if you can tell me of any examples of work investigating/discussing gliders in #Neural #CellularAutomata I should know about. @BertChakovsky @zzznah @risi1979 @EIiasNajarro

I'm considering spatial/temporal resolution and numerical precision. Each has one or more counterparts in NNs. 1. Numerical precision (quantization) 2. Spatial (kernel size) 3. Temporal. (Less obvious, but residual connections can generally be written as a step of Euler's method)

Rive Sunder@RiveSunder·6 Haz

It reminds me of the "Face on Mars" from the Cydonia region of the red planet. When photographed at relatively low resolution by Viking 1, it's clearly a monumental artifact made by extraterrestrials. When imaged with a bit more resolution by HiRISE, it's obviously just a hill.

English

Rive Sunder@RiveSunder·6 Haz

My current project examines the effects of discretization on self-organising patterns in #CellularAutomata and other glider-supporting systems. The effects can be counter-intuitive, e.g. instability due to _higher_ spatial resolution, as in the _Scutium_ glider from #Lenia below.
