  • I must insist on your installing Oblivion Lost, as it breathes a fresh wind into the game and really bumps up the A-Life and feeling of an open world much more.

    Getting My Immersion Fix Ben Abraham 2009

  • So I am quickly running out of prims (I fear I have to get rid of my 23 prim winged leather chairs upstairs) but I hope to have more product in the upcoming weeks, including two "freebies" A Mailbox and a tip jar (steam-powered ofcourse), as well as my A-Life Goldfish, if I can find a good build to house them in (read lower prim).

  • The fact that androids are a conventional trope (and therefore excusable as part of the idiom's figurative trove) wouldn't undermine a plausible, scientific explanation based on A-Life and AI theories; you might make the work a bit more boring for the more Epic-oriented fan who'd rather you just got on with the story, but you might also make it more interesting for the Hard-oriented fan.

  • A-Life work can also allow exploration about which features of life are due to the constraints of being enmattered in a particular manner and subject to physical and chemical laws, as well as exploring a variety of factors that might affect evolutionary scenarios (Etxeberria 2002).

    Life Weber, Bruce 2008

  • While computer simulations are utilized by many theoretical biologists, those who explore ˜Artificial Life™ or ˜A-Life™ seek to do more than model known living systems.

    Life Weber, Bruce 2008

  • For example, the relative potential roles of selection and self-organization in the emergence of novel traits in evolutionary time might be evaluated by A-Life research.

    Life Weber, Bruce 2008

  • "Black Shoals" is far more promising: a simulation of the stock market as an A-Life planetarium, with plenty of good A-Life links (the name alludes to the Black-Scholes equation for modelling financial markets).
