Evolving the Game of Life
[chapter]
2005
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
It is difficult to define a set of rules for a cellular automaton (CA) such that creatures with life-like properties (stability and dynamic behaviour, reproducton and self-repair) can be grown from a large number of initial configurations. This work describes an evolutionary framework for the search of a CA with these properties. Instead of encoding them directly into the fitness function, we propose one, which maximises the variance of entropy across the CA grid. This fitness function promotes
