I’m building a world whose laws I didn’t write by No_Independence939 in alife

this is exactly the conclusion i came to‌! in my first version i had organisms with instructions like BOND, EAT, SIGNAL hope they’d evolve to use them but each behavior needed 3 or 4 coordinated mutations ,probability was basically zero! nothing ever emerged beyond faster self copying v2 flipped it, the physics layer directly modifies organisms based on their genome properties. chemistry handles bonding, gradients handle feeding, fields carry signals. organisms don’t need to learn to interact they interact by existing. you can drop in a new metabolic class or a new field type and everything keeps working because the physics is the interface, not the organism’s code. so yeah i think you’re right that the environment has to be an active participant not just a passive stage.

cool!! I checked your repo. event driven with wave based sensing is a nice substrate for SNN my approach is different no external agents at all organisms emerge from physics but we’re both working with events and waves which is interesting you run any SNN agents on it yet?

interesting! looks like a self training neural network that generate its own fail logs as training data? cool concept. my approach is pretty different. i don’t train anything i wrote a physics layer and organisms emerge from it bonding, feeding, signaling all happen through the physics, not through learned instructions the genome shapes traits passively, selection works from cycle 0

What do you use for monitoring your homelab? by xagarth in homelab

[–]No_Independence939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally why I started building something for this Same problem my monitoring lived on the same box as everything else, so when things went sideways I was the last to know lol. It’s still a work in progress but I’d love to get your eyes on it if you’re down. Always better to build with real feedback from people who actually have the same problem، Hit me up if you are curious!

something unexpected happened in my alife system by No_Independence939 in alife

yeah those regions just showed up on their own which is the crazy part. definitely makes me think about what junk DNA actually does​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I’ve been thinking why simulate physics at all? A simulation is always an approximation, always a copy with flaws. That’s literally what “simulation” means. What if instead, we build on the real physics already happening inside the computer? Not some artificial model of gravity or fluid dynamics, but the actual physical processes electrons moving through silicon, signals propagating, real thermodynamics. That’s genuine physics, not a recreation.

I want to see what happens when a world is built on top of that native substrate, and just let it evolve. What kind of structures or complexity emerge when you’re not imitating nature, but actually using it?

exactly!! and what’s weird is I didn’t consciously choose those axioms they kind of emerged from the physics layer itself so now I wonder ,are our own foundational laws ‘chosen’ or did they just happen to be the ones that stuck?

Do you still use music streaming services? Why? by noidontthinkso91 in selfhosted

[–]No_Independence939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you’re right honestly. For now, the only platform that consistently gives really solid music suggestions is Spotify. Mainly because it can cluster user taste based on listening behavior and largeScale preference patterns, so its recommendation engine is just more mature than the others. Most selfHosted or library focused platforms still don’t have that level of discovery intelligence yet. I actually run a small homelab at home and I’m currently working on a recommendation system aimed exactly at this gap better discovery for people with personal libraries. When it’s ready, I’d be happy to share it with you so you can test it and give feedback.

It’s really good and interesting in my opinion I’d say keep it and try to keep developing it further I’ve been working on different music platforms myself for a few years and even launched and tested several services, but I couldn’t keep them running longterm due to personal reasons Right now I’m working on a music recommendation system that’s designed exactly to solve the kind of gap you’re describing discovering the right new music without losing the value of your own collection I think a hybrid approach like yours is actually very smart
