the unity/minecraft level of abstraction is a common one in AFIFE, and too often ends up being Spore - looking and behaving in very interesting ways, but remaining just that. those approaches are on the wrong side of the performance vs

this is my personal take; I agree, for the same reasons you mentioned, resource constraints will need to be baked in (they are already, to some extent, if you consider the constrained resource to be z80-CPU-seconds the program has access to

there are many bottlenecks in the substrate - memory limits being one of them. other things like the A-B concatenation inherited from the bff paper also severely limit the possible dynamics. understanding and avoiding these bottlenecks are

as other folks have replied, Z80 is more expressive and yields more interesting replicators faster. however the question of how complex to make the "base layer", if you will, remains open. we expect it to also be an ease of auto-e

There's some recent work that involves NCAs in a 3D setting by Horibe et. al [1] and tweet [2]. Other work by Risi and collaborators is definitely worth checking out as well. [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.02579 [

The second cell looks a section title ("Imports and Notebook Utilities"), but contains the definitions of these functions and the imports. Run this cell and I suspect things should work.

Apologies, not my intention. I was also under the impression seminal could be used to mean ”first” in the succession of our works and this is what I had intended to communicate.

Thanks for noticing. This is a typo stemming from early experiments. We started out with 16 channels, but switched to 12 channels of state when this worked just as well. I've submitted a correction.
