Did you enjoy #CCS2025? Then you'll love #CCS2026! Join us October 9–16 for attending the largest #ComplexSystems conference, where beautiful landscapes🍂, brilliant minds👩‍🔬, and our vibrant culture🎠 will converge in one place: @binghamtonu.bsky.social #CallForSatellites coming soon...🫣

And this is how #ALIFE2025 ends! See you next year in Waterloo, Canada for #ALIFE2026!

Our (in the making) paper combining morphogenetic fields and neural cellular cellular automata with @miltonllera.bsky.social, Eleni Nisioti & @risi.bsky.social got a little award at @alife2025.bsky.social #ALife2025 💮✨

💐🌺🌷From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much for a wonderful conference. You all make it amazing— each and everyone one of you. I am so lucky to have met you 🌸✨🩷 #alife2025 #alife

Still alive in Japan

Sadly, I have to leave from #ALIFE2025 now It has been absolutely inspiring several days here in Kyoto Many many many many thanks to the organizers!!

#ALIFE2025 final keynote Anna Ciaunica discusses the importance of bodies and embodiment in understanding life and mind

From the Physical ALife session #ALIFE2025

Final day of #ALIFE2025 I will be busy chairing the Physical ALife session

Now the #ALIFE2025 keynote panel on the field's unsolved problems

Nathan Lloyd argues the need for pluralistic ways to define and use "AI" #ALIFE2025

Another talk by Jeremy Pitt What do people feel when they and ALife are in conflict in a cooperation game? #ALIFE2025

Now in #ALIFE2025 ALife in Org satellite Jeremy Pitt argues the use of human-AI co-production to make institutions more open-ended and more adaptive

Now #ALIFE2025 keynote panel on open-endedness and plurality, by Ken Stanley, David Ha, Audrey Tang and Mizuki Oka

Our keynote speaker today is Blaise Agüera y Arcas, who presented his results on in-silico abiogenesis using a primitive programming language, showing the emergence of self-replicator programs follow a well-defined phase transition. #ALIFE2025

#ALIFE2025 Day 4 keynote Blaise Agüera y Arcas shows a live demo of his famous Brainfuck experiment (which looks very much like the Matrix)

Now, the next talk immediately following ASAL already extends it to ASAL++ by dynamically generating next prompts using past simulation history! #ALIFE2025

And now Akarsh Kumar presents the ASAL work!! #ALIFE2025

Dominik Woiwode designs and builds rotation-invariant hardware modules for NCA (Each module costs just 10 euros!) #ALIFE2025

#ALIFE2025 Day 4 Cellular Automata 2 session James Stovold shows including an pattern identity state makes NCA's behavior more robust and consistent when two nearby patterns overlap

Grant rejected

#ALIFE2025 Day 3 keynote Chris Kempes discusses the possibility of universal laws of life

Are there universal laws of life? Our keynote speaker today at #ALIFE2025 is Chris Kempes, who dedicated his talk to the question above. He mainly focused on the constraints that life needs to emerge, showing that there are general scaling laws between multiple biological traits.

Sina Khajehabdollahi uses semantic embedding by foundation models to explore dynamics of Flow Lenia #ALIFE2025

Alexandre Guillet explores diverse dynamics of the continuous Game of Life family (with a super nice interactive live demo!) #ALIFE2025

Pietro Miotti proposes Differentiable Logic Cellular Automata #ALIFE2025

#ALIFE2025 Cellular Automata session Marko Cvjetko explores behavior space of Flow Lenia

Another successful day @alife2025.bsky.social is over. We even got a chance to visit the gorgeous new ALife Institute here in Kyoto! #ALIFE2025
