• Abstract: This paper presents EINCASM, a prototype system employing a novel framework for studying emergent intelligence in organisms resembling slime molds. EINCASM evolves neural cellular automata with NEAT to maximize cell growth constrained by nutrient and energy costs. These organisms capitalize physically simulated fluid to transport nutrients and chemical-like signals to orchestrate growth and adaptation to complex, changing environments. Our framework builds the foundation for studying how the presence of puzzles, physics, communication, competition and dynamic open-ended environments contribute to the emergence of intelligent behavior. We propose preliminary tests for intelligence in such organisms and suggest future work for more powerful systems employing EINCASM to better understand intelligence in distributed dynamical systems.

  A key challenge in artificial intelligence is the creation of systems capable of autonomously advancing scientific understanding. We present SciAgents, an approach that leverages three core concepts.
