Idiot here. I think this field of study has wild potential. How do you get one of these to learn a function. And further: learn to combine functions from individuals to accomplish a task?
(Ok I’ll see myself out).
I wonder if such artificial life forms could be hooked up to a machine learning algorithm somehow, so that they learn from their experience in the environment. I imagine the organisms would need some kind of "senses" like touch and vision; maybe a concept of food, light, enemy/friend.. Oh, there's a link at the bottom of the paper to a project called Sensorimotor Lenia, which goes in that direction. > These patterns…
The prime motivation for such particles is probably to achieve the highest stable energetic structure.
Senses are a higher abstraction levels of more complex structures.
A completely artificial computer simulation exhibiting properties of life is meaningless. Of course if you call SimulateLife() it will appear to simulate life. But if the things you’re building the supposed life from are made up and you can’t do it in nature then you’re basically just making a video game.

It would be pretty cool to have video games with realistic artificial lifeforms...

It seems like our "toy" models are getting closer to reality.

Stephen Wolfram (author of Cellular Automata: ...) would agree.

you've heard of game of life, right? They've already created computers in that even simpler cellular automata world. They've even recreated the game of life within game of life...
