After the entire human DNA sequence was made public, many post-genome researchers began to investigate the systems of living creatures. Creatures consist of vast collections of proteins and their bodies are maintained by complex interactions among genes, proteins, and organic molecules. One major area of interest is how the characteristics of each creature are manifest and what kind of proteins...

Virtual creatures operating in a physically realistic 3D environment, as originally introduced by Karl Sims, provide a challenging domain for artificial evolution. However, few coevolutionary experiments have been reported. Here we describe the results of our experiments on the evolution of physical combat among virtual creatures: essentially, we evolve creatures that trade blows with each othe...

I propose a conceptual framework for emotions according to which they are best understood as the feedback mechanism a creature possesses in virtue of its function to learn. More specifically, emotions can be neatly modeled as a measure of harmony in a certain kind of constraint satisfaction problem. This measure can be used as error for weight adjustment (learning) in an unsupervised connection...

In Darwin’s world the user creates robot-like graphical creatures with behavior defined by a simple programming language. These creatures migrate around a small two-dimensional grid, each according to its simple program created by the user. The GUI application that controls and displays the location of these creatures must interpret the program instructions supplied in a simple text file for ea...

there are three main ideas about relation between creatures and god. one of them is the theory of separation, according to this theory there's not any homogeneity between creatures and god it means the essence and existence of creatures are completely inhomogeneity with god's essence and existence. the second is the theory of oneness, according to this theory creatures and god are uni...
