Selfishness versus functional cooperation in a stochastic protocell model.
How to design an "evolvable" artificial system capable to increase in complexity? Although Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection obviously offers a firm foundation, little hope of success seems to be expected from the explanatory adequacy of modern evolutionary theory, which does a good job at explaining what has already happened but remains practically helpless at predicting what w...
متن کاملEvolution, Selfishness and Cooperation
It is argued that replicators evolving through natural selection on the basis of fitness are intrinsically selfish. Though the synergy resulting from cooperation is generally advantageous, selfish or subsystem optimization precludes the reaching of a globally optimal cooperative arrangement. This predicament is exemplified by the "Prisoner's dilemma". Different proposals to explain the evolutio...
متن کاملSelfishness, Cooperation and Topology Dynamics in Networks
We study the dynamics of a network of agents (players) under two models settings. In the first model, players (agents) extend heterogeneous cooperation levels to their partners and in the second, perfectly rational and selfish agents engage in an iterated Snowdrift Game and the evolution of the system suggests that cooperation emerges and prevails even when no external rules or norms for punish...
متن کاملAnalysis of a stochastic cooperation-competition model
*Correspondence: [email protected] 1College of Automation, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin, China Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Abstract In this paper, we explore dynamic properties of a stochastic cooperation-competition model. Some sufficient conditions are established for stochastic persistence and stochastic extinction of species. Studies ...
متن کاملOntogeny and adaptivity in a model protocell
Viability, ontogeny, and adaptivity have been widely discussed within the context of emergent individuality. This paper provides an initial step towards a more formal treatment of these concepts. A network of possible ontogenies is uncovered by subjecting a model protocell to sequential perturbations, and mapping the resulting structural configurations. The analysis of this network reveals tren...
