We present a developmental model to simulate swimming digital organisms following an animat’s cell doctrine. Morphology and control are encoded in one genome concurrently using artificial cells as the basic building blocks for both. Each individual starts with one cell in the middle of a computational environment, and its development is controlled by a gene regulatory network. The cells can dif...

The saga has implications for other jurisdictions considering adoption or expansion of the objective patient standard doctrine.

As the complexity of military operations increases, defense modeling and simulation (DM&S) has contributed in analytically improving doctrines at various levels. To date, defense modelers concentrate on the best representation model of their targeted system at their targeted level with their targeted doctrine. However, insights into the doctrine from the battle experiment using such models are ...

One of the most difficult and perplexing tenets of classical theism is the doctrine of divine simplicity. Broadly put, this is generally understood to be the thesis that God is altogether without any proper parts, composition, or metaphysical complexity whatsoever.
