Road map

Principle

Lay out the big steps that CoEvolution will follow. Those are sequential stepping stones that should be reflected in Seedea Seedea.Todo on a smaller scale.

Result

Fundamental requirement : the tool stays usable at all the different stages of its development and uses itself to progress.

  1. bootstrap the core (based on the existing environment)
    1. read/write mechanism allowing to manipulate a piece of information and link between themselves
    2. automatic history traces of the evolution of the system
    3. ability to duplicate itself with a modified version and allow communication between the generating entity and the generated entity
    4. description within the system of its own mechanism
  2. write within the system how it can evolve based on optional modules
  3. statistics to facilitate manipulation of the key descriptive pieces of information of the system
    1. predict paths in order to facilitate recurrent navigation
  4. identify agents in order
    1. to block risky behaviors
    2. to adapt to each agent individual usage of the system
  5. propose to agent optional tools to improve efficiency based on learning based on
    1. heuristics using statistics recorded earlier
  6. provide stigmergic affordances
  7. provide "natural" affordances for agents
    1. specialized API allowing most interaction with external media present in the environment
  8. facilitate study of behavior by agents for other agents to collaboratively improved strategies
  9. favor the development of specialized agents
    1. write a module to write agents to embed it's dedicated functionality
      1. include the ability to simulate part of the system in order to try new agents without risking the integrity of the entire system
    2. allow the usage of "natural" language in order to write agents (see step 7)
    3. facilitate agents to collaborate with entirely distinct system (see step 1.3)

To do

  1. Avoid the mix between biological and computational vocabulary.
  2. Add the other references
  3. Draw a visual
    1. a classical horizontal timeline
      1. Map with the existing process and the technological result
        1. Justify the choices and precise when sub-optimal choices has been made for satisficing purposes
    2. a fractal to illustrate the principle of ontogenesis
      1. simpler with only titles and links to the more complete timeline
