Energy Flow and Conservation in an Artificial Life Agent Model
Unlike microscopic physics models, agent-based artificial life models are commonly constructed without a strict energy conservation rule. We report on the effects of incorporating...

The origin of autonomous agents by natural selection
We propose conditions in which an autonomous agent could arise, and increase in complexity. It is assumed that on the primitive Earth there arose a recycling flow-reactor containi...

Simplified Modelling of a Thermal Bath, with Application to a Fluid Vortex System
Based on the thermodynamic concept of a reservoir, we investigate a computational model for interaction with unresolved degrees of freedom (a thermal bath). We assume that a finite...
