WILDLY DIFFERENT OUTCOMES POSSIBLE. "The models predict that co-evolution can occur under a wide range of conditions, but that many different outcomes are possible: stable polymorphisms; dynamic polymorphisms with cyclic or chaotic fluctuations in allele frequencies of varying amplitude; unstable cycles leading to fixation; or selective sweeps of favorable alleles to fixation." https://lnkd.in/d3-W8NW View in LinkedIn

SELF-REPAIRING DREAM. "The space exploration industry is intrigued by the technology— an evolving system could dynamically reprogram itself to avoid any circuits damaged by radiation, reducing the need for heavy shielding and redundant systems. Similarly, researchers speculate that robots might one day use evolution-inspired systems to quickly adapt to unforeseen obstacles in their environment." https://lnkd.in/e5p4fXs View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend and concludes this weekend on the theme of coevolution. Entanglement in physics has taught us that interconnection is a fundamental property of matter at the level of particles. Ecology in biology has taught is that interconnection is how ecosystems are constructed. Coevolution is simply interconnection on the axis of time, where the observer affects the observed in profound ways. View in LinkedIn

"EVOLVING CIRCUITRY. “Engineers are experimenting with rudimentary adaptive hardware systems which marry evolvable chips to conventional equipment. Such hybrids quickly adapt to new demands by constantly evolving and adjusting their control code.” https://lnkd.in/e5p4fXs View in LinkedIn

"PARASITIC COMPUTING is a twist on the distributed computing paradigm whereby a parasite computer extracts computational cycles unbeknownst to the host system." https://lnkd.in/dh6PrEg View in LinkedIn

COMPUTER MALWARE is evidence that computer code is full of holes and weaknesses. The ingenuity of malware code strategies to breach, abduct, and steal from legitimate computers is ever-expanding and likely an arms race similar to a biological virus and its host. View in LinkedIn

PLATFORMS OVERCOME LINGUISTICS. "There are a couple of ways in which code in languages can interact directly. As long as the data being passed between the code is in the right format, at the bits and bytes level, then there is no reason why different languages can't interact. This approach is used in traditional windows DLL development. Even on different platforms, if you can get the format correct (look at big/little endian if interested) it will work as long as your linker (not compiler) knows how to join code together." https://lnkd.in/dQCMwwX View in LinkedIn

INFORMATION. "Communication in the case of software is 'exchanging information', or data. And it doesn't matter what language that process is in, as long as the means of exchanging data is understood by both." https://lnkd.in/dAzXuzv View in LinkedIn

LANGUAGE AGNOSTIC. "Software, no matter what language it is in, ends up being executed directly or indirectly by the processor. So it's very important to understand that no matter the level of the programming language, it all ends up on the processor dye, and it ends up doing nothing but manipulating data." https://lnkd.in/dAzXuzv View in LinkedIn

VOLTAGE LEVELS. "At the very basic level, plain text code eventually translates to 0's and 1's. These 0's and 1's represent low and high voltage levels. At this point, voltage levels control various circuits." http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3043048/how-does-software-code-actually-communicate-with-hardware View in LinkedIn
