Extended Flow-Lenia paper is out in the ALife journal, with more experiments and insights! See 🧵 from 1st-author
@eplantec.bsky.social for a summary.

For a full overview of our research in Artificial Life, here is a talk I gave at the Demeco workshop at EPFL

Le potentiel artistique de (Flow-)Lenia en particulier, et de la simulation de systèmes complexes en général, est considérable. Une belle démonstration actuellement au Jeu de Paume à Paris, par Samuel Bianchini et collègues.

Et notre dernier papier, Flow-Lenia Universes :

Published my WebGPU Particle Life simulation online! Obviously it requires WebGPU support, and it's quite resource-demanding, so I've set the particle count to 64k for now. Also it probably doesn't work on mobile; will fix later.

Cool videos from our new paper applying Diversity Search to Flow-Lenia to explore a vast space of eco-evolutionary dynamics. Preprint paper, dataset and online visualization tool soon available, stay tuned!
I'll present this and other Lenia experiments on May 27 at www.dem.eco

Max Taylor-Davies will present our new paper at the Evostar conference on Thursday:

Emergent Kin Selection of Altruistic Feeding via Non-Episodic Neuroevolution
arxiv.org/abs/2411.10536

A joint work with @hamongautier.bsky.social , Timothé Boulet and myself.

A quick summary below:
Emergent kin selection of altruistic feeding via non-episodic neuroevolution
Kin selection theory has proven to be a popular and widely accepted account of how altruistic behaviour can evolve under natural selection. Hamilton's rule, first published in 1964, has since been exp...
