The evolution of complexity has been a central theme for Biology [2] and
Artificial Life research [1]. It is generally agreed that complexity has
increased in our universe, giving way to life, multi-cellularity, societies,
and systems of higher complexities. However, the mechanisms behind the
complexification and its relation to evolution are not well understood.
Moreover complexification can be used to mean different things in different
contexts. For example, complexification has been interpreted as a process of
diversification between evolving units [2] or as a scaling process related to
the idea of transitions between different levels of complexity [7].
Understanding the difference or overlap between the mechanisms involved in both
situations is mandatory to create acceptable synthetic models of the process,
as is required in Artificial Life research. (...) |
