A major challenge when describing the origin of life is to explain how instructional information control systems emerge naturally and spontaneously from mere molecular dynamics.

The year of 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of evoloops, an evolutionary variant of Chris Langton's self-reproducing loops which proved that Darwinian evolution of self-reproducing organisms by variation and natural selection is possible within deterministic cellular automata.

For each reconstructed organization network, we measured several network diagnostics, which will be used for further statistical analysis to investigate their potential correlations with corporate behavior and performance.

We systematically studied the relationships among three factors for cooperation: sensitivity to defectors, the intensity of L\'evy flights, and population density.

To investigate how the collective design and innovation processes would be affected by the diversity of knowledge and background of collective individual members, we conducted three collaborative design task experiments which involved nearly 300 participants who worked together anonymously in a social network structure using a custom-made computer-mediated collaboration platform.

One of the problems in supervised text classification models is that the models' performance depends heavily on the quality of data labeling that is typically done by humans.

Placed at the frontiers between disciplines, Artificial Life (ALife) has heavily borrowed concepts and tools from the study of self-organization, providing mechanistic interpretations of life-like phenomena as well as useful constructivist approaches to artificial system design.

This strongly suggests that the dynamics observed in Hash Chemistry were indeed evolutionary behaviors driven by selection and adaptation taking place at multiple scales.

We studied the long-term dynamics of evolutionary Swarm Chemistry by extending the simulation length ten-fold compared to earlier work and by developing and using a new automated object harvesting method.

Self-organization has been an important concept within a number of disciplines, which Artificial Life (ALife) also has heavily utilized since its inception.

The proposed algorithm ranks cities based on their priorities calculated using a power function of means and standard deviations of their distances from other cities and then connects the cities to their neighbors in the order of their priorities.

The general order occurs in all other known cases: when adult humans classify objects with characteristics that are not readily distinguished (e. g., brightness, saturation, hue); for children and monkeys; and when categorization difficulty is extrapolated from errors in identification learning.

Throughout this project, we utilized evolutionary computation (EC) in non-traditional ways---(1) as a theoretical framework for reinterpreting the dynamics of idea generation and selection, (2) as a computational simulation model of collective human decision making processes, and (3) as a research tool for collecting high-resolution experimental data of actual collaborative design and decision making from human subjects.

We studied the roles of morphogenetic principles---heterogeneity of components, dynamic differentiation/re-differentiation of components, and local information sharing among components---in the self-organization of morphogenetic collective systems.

Self-organization of heterogeneous particle swarms is rich in its dynamics but hard to design in a traditional top-down manner, especially when many types of kinetically distinct particles are involved.
