Revisiting the Edge of Chaos: Evolving Cellular Automata to Perform Computations
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
An experiment similar to one performed by Packard (1988), in which a genetic algorithm is used to evolve cellular automata to perform a particular computational task, demonstrates how symmetry breaking can impede the evolution toward higher computational capability.
