The more I use generative AI tools, the more I understand how to use them to support my own goals and activities without compromising my own vision, creativity, and direction. I’m learning how to write effectively, plan carefully, and think differently. I really like it ♥️💪🏻

Our paper on constraints and functions is out! We show that agents can change from open loop control behavior to closed loop control by modifying their environment. It’s a follow up to many of the ideas that Tim Taylor explores with his POA framework.

The Constraint-Function Loop
A central question in artificial life is how systems can sustain life-like behavior—sensing, adaptation, persistence—in complex, unpredictable environments. This paper introduces the constraint-functi...

1/5 Now in Artificial Life: our research on the creativity of unsupervised learning! Core finding: a simple model of attractor networks with Hebbian learning is sufficient to constitute a (minimal) creative process, yielding creative products as solutions of the optimization.

The characterization of life as a thermodynamic phenomenon out of equilibrium is usually attributed to Schrödinger. What if I told you that he wasn't the first (not even the second😶🌫️) to reach that famous and influential conclusion?/1

When Schrödinger Reinvented the Wheel
Erwin Schrödinger’s “What is Life?” is perhaps one of the most influential works in theoretical biology, but what if I told you that one of the key ideas discussed in it was nothing new?
