Jakob von Uexk¨ull’s theory of the Umwelt is described and it is used to show how perceptual states can be defined. It is described how perceptual cues are selected over evolut...
We compare the long term behaviour of Conway’s Game of Life cellular automaton, from initial random configurations, on a bounded rectangular grid and a bounded Penrose tiling gr...
This paper investigates evolvability of artificial neural networks within an artificial life environment. Five different structural mutations are investigated, including adaptive e...
