A lab that explores the mechanisms of emergent phenomena in artificial worlds inside computers.

AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how emergent phenomena arise in artificial worlds inside computers
The lab builds artificial worlds (societies) inside computers and studies the mechanisms by which emergent phenomena arise, by observing how agents within them influence one another.
Emergent phenomena are those in which, when many elements influence one another, properties that cannot be predicted by looking at each element alone appear as characteristics of the whole.
Within the field of artificial life, each member searches on their own for what is interesting and what remains unexplained, and settles on a research topic through trial and error.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Artificial Life Laboratory, Suzuki Unit."
Key terms
- Emergent phenomena
- Phenomena in which properties that cannot be predicted from individual elements appear as characteristics of the collective whole
- Artificial life
- A research field that builds artificial worlds inside computers to study the mechanisms of phenomena regarded as characteristic of life
ResearchResearch themes
This lab seeks to clarify the mechanisms by which emergent phenomena, which arise when many elements influence one another, come about. It builds artificial worlds inside computers and observes the interactions among agents within them to explore the key mechanisms that give rise to emergent phenomena.
