I am a CA researcher and I often ask myself a hard question: where is the boundary between CA and just spatially explicit optimisation?
- theGnuMe 4y agoWhat’s your answer?
- lapama 4y agoA blurred line, I was thinking after asking. When the function has outputs that connect with space with visible logic, more CA; when not, more just optimisation. But this thus limits CA with art... not a good answer. What would be yours?
- theGnuMe 4y agoI don’t know. I just find it fascinating that there are two ways of looking at a problem but CAs strike me as simple computational units that can evolve in time, genetically cross each other to gain new function and demonstrate emergent behavior.
