MODEL #4 NARRATIVE. "One measure of complexity is the information content of a system, and Schneider’s “ev” program has demonstrated that new information can indeed emerge spontaneously. The “ev” program was constructed to simulate evolution by mutational and selection events." https://lnkd.in/dJG4bYH View in LinkedIn

COMPLEXITY MODEL. "However, plant specialized metabolism, which has expanded exponentially over the past 500 million yr, provides a phylogenetically rich system for studying evolutionary processes leading to metabolic complexity on varying biological, chemical, architectural and time scales." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.12416/full View in LinkedIn

SWEPT AWAY. "In short, most evolutionary intermediates – nodes on a phylogenetic tree – were swept away in parallel by distinct lineages, even those intermediates providing historical fitness advantages in organismal populations." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.12416/full View in LinkedIn

MULTI-ROBOT COOPERATION PLUSSES. "Tasks are basically too complex for a single robot to achieve because single robot is spatially limited; Using multiple simple robots may be cheaper and simpler than handling one complex robot; Multi-robot systems are more flexible and fault-tolerant than single robots acting alone." https://lnkd.in/dTg7N-6 View in LinkedIn

GIANT GAPS. "It is very common to find huge phylogenetic gaps that will never be known with certainty even with the most sophisticated means of ‘resurrecting’ so-called ancient proteins, particularly as the phylogenies used for such calculations represent a very sparse sampling of extant organisms." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.12416/full View in LinkedIn

SIMPLE RULES AND SHIT HAPPENS. "Scientists have long been able to simulate huge swarms of life-like virtual particles in computers, using very simple rules. But the real world is full of pesky physics, inconvenient noise, and temperamental circuitry. Stuff goes wrong." https://lnkd.in/dBAx4nW View in LinkedIn

SELF-ASSEMBLY. "Creating this ability in engineered systems poses challenges in the design of both algorithms and physical systems that can operate at such scales," when using limited and unreliable units as seen in nature. http://science.sciencemag.org/content/345/6198/795 View in LinkedIn

HIGH TURNOVER RATE. "According to a recent estimation, out of the four billion species that ever lived on the Earth over the past 3.5 billion yr, only 1% of them have survived until today." https://lnkd.in/d3RnrBP View in LinkedIn
