Artificial Life in-materio : Creatures in a Nanomagnetic Metamaterial
Artificial life in-materio is the exploration of emergent life-like phenomena within physical material substrates. A rich variety of physical phenomena may support life-like behaviours, exploiting fundamentally different principles than ...

Extended Parental Investment Effects on Population Dynamics: From AI Agent Modeling to Real World Demographics
Parental care is prevalent, especially among mammals. A long-lasting research question lies in whether Post-Maturity Parental Investment (PMPI) has any behavioral or physical population effect. However, it is ethically inconceivable to d...

Rapid Parallel Fabrication and Control of Diverse Microrobotic Structures with Magnetic Functionalization
Building and validating functional robot bodies at the milli- and microscale remains a challenge in studying and imitating living behavior. Traditional fabrication methods, such as 3D printing, often require multiple steps, are time-cons...

A Commentary on Nils Aall Barricelli’s “ Esempi Numerici di Processi di Evoluzione ” (1954)
The Italian-Norwegian scientist Nils Aall Barricelli conducted pioneering work on the evolution of digital organisms in the 1950s and 1960s. His paper Esempi Numerici di Processi di Evoluzione (Numerical Examples of Evolutionary Processe...

A Consideration of the Zoetic Engineering Grand Challenge
The Zoetic Engineering Grand Challenge is a proposal to catalyse work in the field of Cyber-Bio-Physical Systems by attacking the goal of creating a Living Skyscraper. This work builds upon that original idea, introducing the concept of ...

Growing Echo State Networks through Graph-Based Morphogenesis with Developmental Graph Cellular Automata
Developmental Graph Cellular Automata (DGCA) are a novel model of morphogenesis, capable of growing directed graphs from single-node seeds. In this paper, we extend the DGCA model to exhibit stochastic growth, and show that both determin...

Numerical Examples of Evolutionary Processes [English Translation of “ Esempi Numerici di Processi di Evoluzione ” (1954)]
Some consequences of the Darwinian principle of evolution by survival of the fittest are analyzed. Considering that this principle reduces evolution to a purely statistical phenomenon, we draw the conclusion that it may apply not only to...

Evolutionary Brain-Body Co-Optimization Consistently Fails to Select for Morphological Potential
Brain-body co-optimization remains a challenging problem. To understand and overcome its challenges, we exhaustively map a morphology-fitness landscape: we train controllers for each morphology in a design space of 1,305,840 voxel-based ...

Temporal Membranes: Delay-Induced Self-Retention Without Clocks or Memory Substrates
Living systems must preserve organization while their components relax, diffuse, or fluctuate. Most origin-of-life accounts place this problem in space, emphasizing membranes and compartments, but persistence also has a temporal dimensio...

Symbiotic Alignment via Collective Predictive Coding: A Theoretical Framework for Co-Creative Human–AI Ecosystems
The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into society has surfaced systemic risks, particularly deep polarization exacerbated by algorithms optimizing for individual engagement. The dominant alignment paradigm, reliant on un...
