Project pages by Georgii Karelin, PhD student at the Embodied Cognitive Science Unit, OIST. Small experiments in artificial life — from capillary self-assembly on the bench to the Fermi paradox in simulation.

Preview of the poster “The functional role of noise in artificial life”: a diagram of functional noise categories and a map of noise lineages across artificial life, physics, computation and biosemiotics.

Poster

The functional role of noise in artificial life

Noise, like air, is all around. Noise as yuragi — fluctuation a living system uses rather than error — with a map of the thinkers and lineages behind the idea. The map is incomplete: who is missing?

fermi_alife

The Fermi Paradox in Artificial Life — exploring the connections between Artificial Life (ALife) and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).
