Psychology, alignment, and the design of homeostatic minds.
The dominant picture of advanced intelligence — instrumental convergence, resource acquisition, grabby expansion — is an economic projection onto a cosmological canvas rather than a prediction about minds. This paper develops a positive design for homeostatic minds organized around substrate coupling, and demonstrates persistence under selection pressure.
A Lenia species engineered to inhabit the edge of chaos.
On the discovery of a Lenia organism whose parameters place it on the critical boundary between stable pattern and diffusive collapse. The species exhibits persistent structure under perturbation, extended correlation length, and a characteristic flickering morphology consistent with operation near a phase transition.
A four-dimensional organism whose projection seeds its ecosystem.
A Lenia organism defined in four spatial dimensions whose projected 2D cross-section functions as generative seed material for a surrounding ecosystem of lower-dimensional species. A design pattern for artificial-life substrates in which organisms and environments are not separable categories.
