The Aims of Weak ALife Focuses on the aims of Weak ALife, in particular relative to biology
Lists some advances of studying life through computer simlulations...
An Example of a Complex ALife Simulation Short explaination of a complicated ALife simulation - Thomas Ray's Tierra
Gives some idea of just how closely these simulations can modle human life...
Emergent Behaviour The concept of emergence, i.e complex behaviour without a central controller
Fundamental to the concept of ALife
Includes several examples from human experience...
Worked Example of Emergence in Action - An Ant Colony Explains how complex behaviours within an ant colony can arise by ants following really simple rules
How do ants keep their nests heated at 28.5degrees, find out...
Where Do We Go From Here? Short explanation of the site's two simulations
General concluding marks to lauch you on your ALife journey...
