- Book about implications of artificial life for society (how do we know when something is alive or not? - self-replication is enough or?) Most useful ideais that biology and naturehas a lotof useful lessons for artificial organisms.Genetic algs can give near-optimal solutions... but not optimal - just like a hill-climber alg in DM, they cannot chooose the best. As only one route is chosen at any time. What is the ALife 'chromosome' (Koza) PArt of the problem is acceptance and thisarises from the fact that the arly comp sci people had to fightfor acceptance and are still tainted by the idea that the are a 'young' science, ignoring the idea that it is not age but achievements that matter. As such any suggestion that thereis inexactitude in CSC is met with hostility by traditional alg and theory people. Fuck them. Uvic needs a cross-discplinary study group too, with biologyu, psychology, physics, etc. Parallel computers p.196 sex as a way of 'climbing down' from local maximums and seeking out the absolute p.200 Lindenmayer adn L-Systems p. 234 agent subsumption archtecture - tasks take over as neeed p 278 ethology p292
