You're invited to join me for a Cross Roads talk next week, hosted by Cross Labs in Kyoto and streaming at youtube.com/watch?v=wiZ6mY…. I'll be talking about discretization and self-organization in cellular automata and similar systems.

TOMORROW at 10:30am JST!

Starting in 20 minutes! Come and discretize yourself at this link: youtube.com/watch?v=wiZ6mY…

Behind the scenes at Cross Roads:

In CrossLabs talk, Tyrell showed a bunch of examples of complex systems that depend (feed) on discretization, including Lenia, SmoothLife, Neural CA, reaction-diffusion systems, and Lorentz attractor!

Who wants to help me generate an Artificial Life version of these videos? I want to combine the sense of awe in watching these with deep surprise at seeing another world. It will require object permanence, stable replicators, and diverse forms of emergent evo-devo-eco learning…

At a point in time when technology and biology appear to converge, can we decode the mysteries of life grounded in either realm, through the lens of science and philosophy? crosslabs.org/blog/artificia… #artificiallife

Join us for the 5th annual Cross Labs spring workshop, "New Human Interfaces"! crosslabs.org/new-human-inte… From March 3-7, we'll be hosting panels by leading experts, a multi-day hackathon, and deep-dive discussions on new and unexplored innovative human-machine interface design.

Great news, everyone! Cross Roads is BACK for episode #50! Join us on Jan 2 1@ 2pm JST to hear exciting ideas from Fernando Rosas 🦋 about "The Many Faces of Emergence." We'll see you next week on YouTube Live! youtube.com/live/bgB8e3Goa…
