That has to be alive

Can those emerged systems be used to create like a - self repairing electronic cloth step by step? just like at 1:24

you have no idea how much I love lenia, can you teach me how I can implement my own version?

これずっと探してた　ようやく見つけた

Wait, are you saying the behavior of the organism is coming from the positioning and values of the individual cells of the organism?

Great video

i dont understand what i saw. But that was so great !

I am a software developer in many lenguages. Java c# rust ecc.. I studied game of life. I discover lenia tonight. Where I should start? Which lengueage and softwere are used? ❤️

I really wanna see a combination of Asymptotic Lenia and Flow Lenia

어쩌면 ai도 이런 것일거같다.

Lenia

Where do you download this game?

what is asymptotic update?

If prompt a specifically designed AI. Model to as near as possible describe the lattice QCD of a proton and in the process its wave function in terms of a particle life manifold, you can obtain the particle life like manifold rule set , and in the process derive an functional way to describe a unified field theory

Wow

Omg what a banger

why do they look like horse shoe crabs? or trilobites?

Ars Magna!

Can I play it?

is there any 5d cells

One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen 🤩

i love you

Great simulation, I downloaded Lenia, anyone found how to create our own structures in the js version?

This is absolutely incredible.

Now that's inspiring! and good music! for presentation! perfect i might say :D

Rip grand pa :(

beautiful, thank you!

Excellent! Thank you for your work, for this video and also for the blog post with tons of info and interactive content!

THE MUSIC PLEEEEEEASE ! 😱😱

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Je suis venu ici après avoir regardé la vidéo de science étonnante

C'est comme si chacun des mes neurones venaient de se prendre une giga baffe.

OMG ! 🤔The King is naked !

Can Lenia patterns learn to remember? (Measured by improvement at solving a puzzle or maze after repeated attempts)

That was beautiful! Thank you! 🥹

Is there one with conservation of energy

Next? Membrane defining inside/outside, DNA-encoded self replication governed by Genetic Algorithm? A lot to ask for, I know. Super work❤

Please make an App for this!

This is actually insane

It felt like I was watching an animation from the near future... What surprised me most was that simulations have made it possible to discuss the possibility of the existence of multidimensional creatures.

It's so amazing that I feel like I'm going to faint...Also, I was really surprised at how much this Lenia resembles a horseshoe crab...This is a game changer.

この研究結果が日本のものであることに日本人として誇りを感じます

This otherwise excellent video compels me to add these words. It’s gonna be long but IMO important. While the jocks were getting drunk & getting laid, the nerds were learning math & building DIY radios. I have no doubt whatsoever that they were over-represented in the fields of science & technology. And considering this, it’s no wonder that science gradually pivoted towards the much more abstract paradigm of "information". Everything is understood now in the _abstract terms_ of "information processing", from social dynamics, cognition, biology, ecosystems, evolution, and all the way to quantum mechanics & cosmology. We have the "it from bit" syntagm. We have the cosmology of Stephen Wolfram now which says that reality is a simple abstract automaton powered by a mathematical rule. Or Max Tegmark which says that the universe _just is mathematics itself._ We have the functionalist AI researchers which think that everything is algorithmically implementable. When you tell them about "🔴" they say _"that too of course! everything!"._ I _don’t_ deny that there’s a set of transformations you can do to the fabric of the universe in order to produce my experience, love, hate, bitter, hot, red, sense of having free-willed volition, everything. But I doubt it’s just abstract constructive mathematics all the way down. I suspect there’s a physical fabric that has some _quality_ to it (I tend towards neutral monism or dual aspect monism). I’ve engaged with a few functionalist programmers and they clearly stated that you can find the algorithm that implements "🔴" or "bitter" or "a full awake & aware person". Now, what this means is that no matter how you run that algorithm-on computer chips, a giant mechanical computer made from sprockets, or a giant system made from rope, pulleys & buckets of water (implementing logic gates), etc-you’ll get those things within the system’s abstract informational structure! It’s not about the substrate (which is itself, "just information anyway!"). The only thing that makes a big enough mechanical computer infeasible is that it has a lot of friction & elasticity within the parts, which destroys the logic structure past a certain threshold of complication. There are vids though that show in principle how ropes, pulleys & weights can implement all the types of logic gates. And if we idealize away the friction & elasticity we should imagine, according to functionalism, that within a giant "rope, pulley & buckets of water" system there could be the experience of "your mother seeing you win the water polo nationals and feeling proud". That’s why my tweeter feed is full of programmers talking about "The age of EM" a sci-fi book about a future where copied humans (emulations = EM’s) exist running within computers, at much greater frequency that any biological human could ever dream. And what do they do all day? _They’re "productive" of course!_ The book seems to be centered on _quantitative_ economic interactions. This shows the malignancy of such a worldview. I once talked with a very smart programmer who told me that animals are unconscious automatons because they don’t think. This level of being caught in dry cold abstraction, given the right circumstances, can lead to unspeakable ignorance & horrors. This is what tends to happen when the real pole of existence falls in the domain of abstraction. I loved the nerds, rooted for them to win, i owe them everything, _including my personality_ which depends on modern fabrics, pigments, complicated jackets & sneakers made by complicated machinery, electronic music instruments, music streaming, cars, flight, fMRI’s, drug synthesis, phone & internet communication, computer games, online payments, etc etc. But like everything else, once it became mainstream it showed its malignant side. Even tho they’re still a minority, their rationalistic mentality has imposed the zeitgeist. Today I run "in order to maximize steps," I go outside "to optimize my vitamin D," I buy nice sheets "to optimize my sleep"… And why do I pursue those things? _Because they assure my productivity!_ We’ve became blind to _the actual value,_ which is in this vivid _qualitative_ experience that brings everything else into being (a ferrari, painting, chocolate, going to the moon, maximizing & optimizing _don’t worth anything in themselves_ ). It’s qualitative experience that completes reality! It’s in phenomenal experience that reality fulfills itself. This functionalist mindset’s culmination would be in the production of a general analytical engine mechanically toiling away in the cosmos after it ate up everything, including the incredibly "crude & inefficient" humans. Nick Bostrom called this scenario "a Disneyland with no children". I’m _not_ certain that functionalism is wrong but it’s an immense absurd risk to go ahead with maximizing algorithmic sophistication while ignoring that consciousness (qualities & binding) might not be algorithmic in nature. But even if functionalism is right, and like I’ve said it’s also demonstrably contributing to bettering our lives… Holding this worldview has a way of destroying the magic of the world. As any uneducated human can tell _from their own intimate experience_ (however illusory that may be), reality is a terrifically complex & subtle wonder. And any individual that’s too smart for their own (and everyone else’s) good, that comes with a ruler and starts hacking away at reality will erode & destroy what’s most important. Like the neurologist Oliver Sacks said, _"The poetic outline of the hills was replaced by abstract theories of hill formation."_ And the thing is, we’re currently living times in which those theories themselves are replace by even drier, colder, more meaningless & disenchanting abstraction. If you’ve lost enchantment on the way-losing the rich exquisite subtle aesthetic qualitative way of relating with existence-all your intellectual development was in vain.

Fascinating. Next Level Game of Life. Evolution in differentiable cellular automata.

I recently came across one of your papers. It’s really inspiring to see that this comes from an independent researcher! In my view, universities are producing a lot of research which is unfortunately irrelevant for for 95% of application and 99% of the population. To see research that approaches the big questions of life in this way is really incredible.

I thought that of all the artificial life-related projects I had seen so far, there was no other simulation as great as this, other than the simulation of the worm brain, but I was wrong.

Epic

this is literally a simulation of life by most definitons

Proof that 2D life is possible:

This is the future of virtual reality.
