kanzure"Meta-Genetic Programming is the proposed meta learning technique of evolving a genetic programming system using genetic programming itself. It suggests that chromosomes, crossover, and mutation were themselves evolved, therefore like their real life counterparts should be allowed to change on their own rather than being determined by a human programmer. Meta-GP was formally proposed by Jürgen Schmidhuber in 1987.[8] Doug Lenat's ...13:44
kanzure... Eurisko is an earlier effort that may be the same technique."13:44
kanzure"This allowed competing programs to embed damaging instructions in each other that caused errors (terminating the process that read it), "enslaved processes" (making an enemy program work for you), or even change strategies mid-game and heal themselves."13:50
kanzure"Steen Rasmussen at Los Alamos National Laboratory took the idea from Core War one step further in his core world system by introducing a genetic algorithm that automatically wrote programs. However, Rasmussen did not observe the evolution of complex and stable programs. It turned out that the programming language in which core world programs were written was very brittle, and more often than not mutations would completely destroy the ...13:50
kanzure... functionality of a program."13:50
kanzure"The first to solve the issue of program brittleness was Tom Ray with his Tierra system, which was similar to core world. Ray made some key changes to the programming language such that mutations were much less likely to destroy a program. With these modifications, he observed for the first time computer programs that did indeed evolve in a meaningful and complex way."13:50
kanzure"Later, Chris Adami, Titus Brown, and Charles Ofria started developing their Avida system,[2] which was inspired by Tierra but again had some crucial differences. In Tierra, all programs lived in the same address space and could potentially overwrite or otherwise interfere with each other. In Avida, on the other hand, each program lives in its own address space. Because of this modification, experiments with Avida became much cleaner and ...13:50
kanzure... easier to interpret than those with Tierra."13:50
kanzure"In 1996, Andy Pargellis created a Tierra-like system called Amoeba that evolved self-replication from a randomly seeded initial condition."13:51

poppingtonickanzure, actually it kinda does. increases in the complexity of certain kinds of formal systems also increase the likelihood of the systems becoming turing-complete.14:02

kanzure"Another question is how many instructions are needed to execute a single replication cycle. More steps per cycle increase the probability that perturbations introduce errors in the replication process. A further point of consideration is ambiguity. The more different views on a program exist (see the frame-shift problems) the higher the dimensionality of the search space. Though in principle the number of possible solutions should ...14:23
kanzure... increase also, the numbe rof non-solutions increases much faster (curse of dimensionality, see the 2^(2^n) increase in search space and only ~ 2^n increase in useful functionality when evolving digital functions[50])."14:23
kanzure"A consequence of this third finding is that no miraculous network-topology will help to create a replication system but only the sheer size of the search-space for finding a sufficiently small non-self-replication system, which in the current work and the currently available computer-power is around 22 unknown bits to be found. Transferring this result into biochemical systems require a systems setup such that physics and chemical ...14:33

kanzure"Only very few bits can be encoded in the sequences everything else has to be provided by physics and chemistry. It is no hope that in nature the available parallelism is gigantic compared to what we have available in the computer: firstly, the explosion of the search-space outnumbers the available resources right from the beginning and secondly, the physical non-determinism fuziness and brownian motions consume many of the ...14:40
kanzure... parallelism-resources. This is a very important finding. Even though proponents of the RNA-world hypothesis, [20][26], believe that ribozymes can in principle solve the replicator-emergence problem, still a gap between the required fidelity of replication and the capabilities of ribozymes exist. This upper bound of perhaps 20 to 30 bits of the exploitable information search space requires that ribozymes needing more than a few ...14:40
kanzure... nucleotides will probably not be able to emerge spontaneously."14:40
kanzure"Low perturbation by random sequences. It turned out that too many random sequences in the vicinity of a replication system are a problem for spontaneous emergence. In contrast to the protein-world of [25] labile replication systems are being subjected to perturbations by other not relate sequences. Trinks [51] proposed ice-cavities as a possible space of the origin of life which seems to be a plausible location because of the huge ...14:43

kanzurepoppingtonic: i am trying to decide how surprised i should be about these results16:51
fennnow i am afraid to delete the mess i made16:52
kanzurewhy?16:53
jrayhawkmost likely unzip didn't sync until the end, which means a pile of other stuff has to wait for all that delayed allocation to happen16:53
jrayhawkbecause POSIX sucks and doesn't have userspace barriers16:54
fennjrayhawk: does it make sense to create a loopback filesystem to write these files to?16:55
jrayhawkno?16:55
fenni don't really understand what just happened16:55
fenni did unzip 8xxxxxx.zip > /dev/null and it took forever and then nothing could write and then it magically fixed itself when we started poking around16:56
jrayhawk16:53 < jrayhawk> most likely unzip didn't sync until the end, which means a pile of other stuff has to wait for all that delayed allocation to happen16:57
fennit never finished16:57
poppingtonici just unzipped it. is ./configure complaining about 'config.sub'?16:57
jrayhawkjrayhawk@gnusha:~$ pgrep unzip16:58
jrayhawkjrayhawk@gnusha:~$16:58
poppingtonicrather, untarred.16:58
jrayhawkgenerally you can watch this in action with e.g. watch -n .2 cat /proc/meminfo16:58
jrayhawkspecifically Dirty: and Writeback:16:59
jrayhawkor something may have synced in the middle of unzip16:59
jrayhawklike vim16:59
jrayhawkvim is annoyingly syncy17:00
kanzurepoppingtonic: i haven't ran this yet17:01
kanzurepoppingtonic: i suspect that running it will not be interesting, because the output files look quite cryptic17:01
kanzurelike http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/ai/uwe-tangen/data/evocpu_20071205_scratch_evol/proc_y_g_20071205_1214_full/hash_0x00000000_001_20071209_210248_hash.png17:01

jrayhawkalso we're running short on space on gnusha, which probably makes allocation very slow17:02
kanzureah right, i should clean stuff up17:02
jrayhawkkanzure: did you want to do some cleanup, or should i just throw more disk at it17:02
kanzurei'll do some cleanup now, but more disk would be nice too?17:02
jrayhawkdone17:03
fenndeleting a million files now...17:03
kanzureman we have lots of irc logs17:03
jrayhawkwhy are you deleting them17:04
jrayhawkwhy did you unzip them if you don't actually want them17:04
poppingtonicyou could just get cheap space on s3...17:04

fenni couldnt get zip to extract individual files (of which i wanted to look at a few near the end) and i also thought about recompressing them in a different format to match some other archives17:05
fennbecause apparently one big glob like this causes problems :\17:05
poppingtonicyeah the output doesn't make much sense at first glance.17:06
kanzurethat last link is just poorly annotated opcodes17:06

jrayhawkwhile the info-zip command line is clearly architected by asylum dwellers, it at least does work as documented17:10
kanzurewhy would programs starting with "end" become more common?17:10
jrayhawkalso info-zip does its own glob matching, so you'll generally want to escape globs when using it17:12
jrayhawkbecause, again, asylum dwellers17:12
kanzurebutt dwellers17:12
jrayhawki like to think the command line of GNU false is more butt dwelling17:13
jrayhawkto its credit, --help and --version still return 117:14
fennjrayhawk: was that the last file in the zip archive? i can't seem to unzip any other files17:17
fennthere are a lot of numbers missing from the sequence17:17

kanzure"The only solution to this coding-dilemma is to assume that the micro-controllers somehow do have physical contact when attached and that one is sliding along the other during the copy process. This sliding, well known in protein-chemistry, makes complex counter arithmetic superfluous. In the current model sliding is realized with an auto-increment feature. After reading (LOAD) a value from a foreign program the read-counter is ...18:10
kanzure... incremented automatically, the same holds for write-operations (STORE). "18:10
kanzurehttp://bruckner.biomip.rub.de/bmcmyp/Data/BIOMIP/WWW/Uwe/projects/EvoCpu/recognition.html18:10
kanzure"How many and which instructions are constituting the micro-controllers can be considered as an arbitrary choice. Also, the maximum length of programs, the maximum number of visible neighbors, the communication interfaces - is a feature of the program."18:11
kanzure"What constraints the number of choices considerably, is the requirement that the system has to be able to find a replication system and ways of its maintenance. On the other hand, ``physics'' can be made so simple that no evolution and emergence at all is needed to create replicating entities. In between these two extremes a suitable implementation of the physical environment should be realized. The question is, how many unknown bits in ...18:11
kanzure... the evolving programs can be tolerated by the dynamics of the system to still allow the emergence of replicators. The number of bits is measured as the difference between a viable evolved replication program and the provided parts of software in the micro-controllers at the onset."18:11
kanzurehttp://bruckner.biomip.rub.de/bmcmyp/Data/BIOMIP/WWW/Uwe/projects/EvoCpu/modeling_physics.html18:15
kanzure"However, when replication emerged, the evolving programs revealed that many codes with a length of only one instruction utilized most of the CPU-time (see above on the minimum template length). Especially when these programs consisted of single Store-instruction, neighboring machines could be overwritten with the same value independent of what useful functionality had evolved before. This sort of denial of service or vandalism in the ...18:19
kanzure... system made the emergence of replicative systems impossible. With a minimum program length of two instructions this problem could be mitigated. It is biologically plausible to require a certain minimum complexity or length of sequences before emergent replication can occur."18:19

kanzure"A fully novel artificial replicator is a reasonable near-term goal. A NASA study recently placed the complexity of a clanking replicator at approximately that of Intel's Pentium 4 CPU.[7] That is, the technology is achievable with a relatively small engineering group in a reasonable commercial time-scale at a reasonable cost."20:57

kanzure"Consider a Pentium IV computer chip, which costs between $130 and $1200 each, in which the wires and transistors that constitute the devices with the desired functionality are less than 5 microns thick.

kanzure"On May 18, 2010, Andrew J. Wade announced a self-constructing pattern dubbed Gemini which creates a copy of itself while destroying its parent.[23][24] This pattern replicates in 34 million generations, and uses an instruction tape made of gliders which oscillate between two stable configurations made of Chapman-Greene construction arms. These, in turn, create new copies of the pattern, and destroy the previous copy. Gemini is also a ...21:21
