So I begun combining different fungi and their movement synergized creating new organinsms. I was able to create a starfish and a living face... coolest dream i have ever had

[@naersthebat4129]

id be neat if someone make a simulation that acted more like acual chemical particles to figure out how life was made

[@ObjectsInMotion]

Replication probably preceded food by quite a few steps. The earliest lifeforms very likely had no way of consuming other groupings or chemicals or producing its own energy. The first couple replicating organisms probably used only spontaneous chemical reactions and ambient energy only.

[@bmbirdsong]

Why hasn't abiogenesis ever been replicated?

[@naersthebat4129]

@@bmbirdsong i believe it has, but imagine what you would have to do, the best idea that we have oh how life started is a literal miracle of a random chemical reaction that happened in the early oceans that created a very simple form of life. but the chances of this happening are like... none. its like the chances of a tornado going through a scrap yard and perfectly assembling a car. but its not impossible just very unlikely. so what we would have to do is simulate the entirety of the early oceans down to the atom and keep that running a very long time until this miracle happens and even then, the simple life that it creates from the simulation probably wont be anything like what was actually made.

[@nathangamble125]

That would be orders of magnitude more complex. These are simply particles that are attracted or repelled by each other by varying degrees. If you want to see something similar that's more like actual life, try looking up the game "biogenesis". It's free to download, and it's based on self-replicating organisms with a simple code which states the order and branching behaviour of different parts of their structure. Different colours have different functions (e.g. photosynthetic, protective, motile, reproductive), and you typically see the same sort of organisms evolving in different runs, depending on the different weighting you apply to different colours, but occasionally you see some more interesting and complex interactions within the virtual ecosystem. The convergent evolution of "shield trees" (photosynthetic organisms surrounded by a shield wall) between runs of the simulator is notable.

It'd be interesting to train a neural network on the blobs of each rule-set; just like identifying 'cat' and 'dog', but finding the collection of representative 'organisms' that a rule generates.... then, a larger network could try to predict which rules generate the greatest diversity or complexity of interactions, I suppose... but that'd be a huge project, while identifying a particular rule-set's 'species' seems within reach....

Really cool and looks to be a step in the right direction. Now if only the rules could be tweaked to allow for more variation in the configurations that arise, and for those configurations to be a bit more stable instead of everything just absorbing each other. Some of these look like they have the possibility for lots of variation, but won’t ever amount to anything complex like a cell unless the parts are more stable.

[@cavvaldiv5536]

To be fair, these things are less like cells and more like subatomic particles. Their behavior is more like chemistry than like life.

I would argue that you are looking at cells here. And that the very tweaking you're discussing, was what the video was. A series of different parameters.
