This classification is evolutionary in the sense that the society types arose in human history in the sequence given above. We compare these society types t...
متن کاملThe Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate: Size and Quality Matters
We investigate the ‘Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate’ (DSNS) computational creativity approach further with respect to the size and quality of images that can be used to seed the process. In previous work we demonstrated how combining photographs of people and sequences taken from chess games between weak players can be used to generate chess problems or puzzles of higher aesthetic quality, on...
متن کاملAdaptive Dynamics of Regulatory Networks: Size Matters
To accomplish adaptability, all living organisms are constructed of regulatory networks on different levels which are capable to differentially respond to a variety of environmental inputs. Structure of regulatory networks determines their phenotypical plasticity, that is, the degree of detail and appropriateness of regulatory replies to environmental or developmental challenges. This regulator...
