Ever wanted to talk to a gene regulatory network? Ever wonder what they could do in a different context, embodiment, space?
New preprint - part of our approach for developing ways to talk to cells, organs, and much much weirder agents:

AI agents can already scan the literature, analyze data, and generate hypotheses. Some predict they’ll revolutionize medicine. Others warn they’ll flood science.
Tomorrow, @drmichaellevin.bsky.social
and @odedrechavi.bsky.social discuss this topic.

What are the preferences of novel in silico and in vivo agents that aren't directly engineered toward a specific set of behaviors? An example, from the world of Lenia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenia) - here's our #preprint on agnosiophobia (avoidance of the unknown):

Language carries thought and coordination among humans but rarely reaches further along the spectrum of diverse intelligence. Yet non-neural systems -- from gene regulatory networks and microbial cons...
Abstract. It is assumed that a useful theory of consciousness (ToC) will explain why consciousness is associated with brains. However, the findings of evol
A hallmark of life on Earth is the ability of agents to exert causal power and be drivers of subsequent events. This is key to cognition at all scales. Causal emergence, measuring the degree to which ...
Most of the Neural Cellular Automata (NCAs) defined in the literature have a common theme: they are based on regular grids with a Moore neighborhood (one-hop neighbour). They do not take into account ...
