This paper describes a new layered brain architecture for simulated autonomous and semi-autonomous creatures that inhabit graphical worlds. The main feature of the brain is its division into distinct systems, which communicate through common access to an internal mental blackboard. The brain was designed to encourage experimentation with various systems and architectures. It has so far proven f...

Communication processes rely on the production and interpretation of representations, thus an important issue is to understand what types of representations are involved during the emergence of interpretations. Here we present an experiment to evaluate conditions for the emergence of interpretations of different representation types. To design our experiment, we follow biological inspirations a...

Abstract Bernard Rollin’s main concerns are domestic and research animals. Such animals have endured less suffering as a result of seminal work. Animals moral concern because they conscious interests, or telos . use is plausible though more specialized than usual. Rollin has theoretical in-principle ideals that unlikely to be accepted current practice. In he adopts moderate principles. the fair...

Fabulists, from Aesop to Walt Disney, have employed animal characters to play human-like roles in their stories. The success of these stories suggests that people are willing to take a sharper look at the foibles of their own species if they pretend to see them in other creatures. In this paper, I confess a similar motivation. The paper is motivated by the evolution of food-hoarding behavior in...

We demonstrate artificial evolution in a system that combines physical simulation with competition between creatures. The simulated creatures are constructed using point masses that are connected by oscillating springs. The creatures pull themselves across their 2D environment by varying the amount of friction at different point masses, giving them sticky feet. Creatures combat one another, and...

Mirrors have been studied by cognitive psychology in order to understand self-recognition, self-identity, and self-consciousness. Moreover, the relevance of mirrors in spirituality, magic and arts may also suggest that mirrors can be symbols of unconscious contents. Carl G. Jung investigated mirrors in relation to the unconscious, particularly in Psychology and Alchemy. However, the relationshi...

Caves with the Upper Paleolithic wall paintings are known in Southern Urals — Kapova (Shulgan-Tash) and Ignatievskaya (Yamazy-Tash). They represent largest karst cavities their areas lots of figurative non-figurative motifs. In many respects, Urals’ decorated caves similar to those Western Europe: terms structural organization space, pictorial assemblages context. The European often referred as...

Primitive man was overwhelmed and horrified by nature and natural phenomena just as animals are when they face an unknown situation. He could not give a naturalistic explanation so he looked for explanations in his imagination filling the world with imaginary forces, then to creatures hypostasizing these forces. At the same time, however, man was making real observations of the world and natura...
