hi im looking for input on the subject of fenomina simaler to life ariseing from the simple collective behaviour of a spacific progeam operateing in a virtual inviornment (a set of rules).
I have done some reasurch, as of now not extraurdonarily extensive, but what I have come up with is surpriseingly simplistic and limited. All I culd find were programs that crete seamingly lifelike behaviours such as flocking. I was wondering if anyone had any material on more complex systems with potencial aplications such as a "brain" made up of other cells that operates in a normal computer enviornment(an OS). from what I have seen, this fenomina has extraurdinary potencial but no one seams to be trying to apply this technology.
for example, if you were to add a spacific task that must be accomplished befour reproduction and selection occors.
I am assumeing evryone here has a basic idea as to what I am talking about with the virtual enviornment, genetic profiles and other things.
any input, corrections, or reasurch material wuld be greatly appreciated also if you wuld like to disguss this subject with me more extensively please do.

    A suggestion
    In the long term instagator you will do yourself a great deal of good if you improve your spelling substantially.
    People, please read this... (re: Same sex mariage)
    In there somewhere are some tools to spell check. You might want to run your posts through them for practice.
    (note: pot and kettle here, my spelling is not perfect )

    That was a freebie
    I corrected your spelling once so I could understand what you are actually saying! (Welcome to EvC by the way)

    I see nothing in this topic that makes any sense. Maybe I am a bit confused by what you are talking about?
    If you are serious and not just playin with us, explain yourself better and DO please run your spelling through a spellcheck!
  • Tell me what forum you want to focus your topic in.
  • Explain what you believe...dont just use us as a source for information!
    read the forum guidelines and get back to us! We are serious if you are serious....although I think you were a bit bored and just hit us up for grins! Please excuse me for assuming, if not true!

    March 1 Deadline
    Hey instagator---I will give you until March 1 to modify this topic for promotion. Im not dissing your spelling except to say that we NEED to have basic standards of comprehension before a topic can be presented to the general public.
    For information, consult google.
    For feedback on other inputs and interpretations beyond raw informantion, refine the topic and lets get the ball rolling (and spelling) by March 1st. Become more than an instigator! Become an illuminator!
