A 3D body
How can we leave the bidimensional space of the GAN results? The most common way to approach this, is to use the result image as a Displacement Map. So the...
StyleGAN2 explorations with Google Colab
To be able to explore our networks, it can be done locally with computers that have a dedicated GPU, or using google Colab. In this book you can find a...
Custom Naro PKL in StyleGan2
The pkl made on the microorganism database of the Gene Bank Project Naro, is available from our repository in the trainings section. To be able to work with the datas...
Symbiosis Promotes Fitness Improvements in the Game of Life
There are two main definitions of symbiosis in biology, (1) symbiosis as any association and (2) symbiosis as persistent mutualism [7]. The first definition allows any kind of persistent contact between different species of...
Autopoiesis and Cognition in the Game of Life
Maturana and Varela’s notion of autopoiesis has the potential to transform the conceptual foundation of biology as well as the cognitive, behavioral, and brain sciences. In order to fully realize...
A synthesis of bacterial and archaeal phenotypic trait data
a synthesis of phenotypic and quantitative genomic traits is provided for bacteria and archaea, in the form of a scripted, reproducible workflow that standardizes and merges 26 sources. The resulting...
Model Organisms Selection for Codex Virtualis
The challenge of extreme space environments High levels of UV Ionizing radiation Dryness is one of the main life‐threatening factors since water removal causes membrane phase transition and production of...
Intrinsically Motivated Discovery Diverse Patterns in Self-Organizing Systems
In many complex dynamical systems, artificial or natural, one can observe selforganization of patterns emerging from local rules. Cellular automata, like the Game of Life (GOL), have been widely used...
Cells Form Into ‘Xenobots’ on Their Own
Early last year, the biologist Michael Levin and his colleagues offered a glimpse of how versatile living matter can be. Levin and Douglas Blackiston, a member of his laboratory at the Allen Discovery...
Lenia an Expanded Universe
Lenia is a 2D cellular automata with continuous space, time and states. It produces a huge variety of interesting life forms. There are various versions available. Python, Matlab and web (JavaScript) versions...
