Passing the ALife test: activity statistics classify evolution in Geb as unbounded (2001)
Book Chapter
Channon. (2001). Passing the ALife test: activity statistics classify evolution in Geb as unbounded. In Advances in Artificial Life (417 - 426)

Bedau and Packard’s evolutionary activity statistics [1, 2] are used to classify the evolutionary dynamics in Geb [3, 4], a system designed to verify and extend theories behind the generation of evolutionary emergent systems. The result is that, acco... Read More about Passing the ALife test: activity statistics classify evolution in Geb as unbounded.

Towards the evolutionary emergence of increasingly complex advantageous behaviours (2000)
Journal Article
Channon. (2000). Towards the evolutionary emergence of increasingly complex advantageous behaviours. International Journal of Systems Science, 843 -860. https://doi.org/10.1080/002077200406570

The generation of complex entities with advantageous behaviours beyond our manual design capability requires long-term incremental evolution with continuing emergence. In this paper, we argue that artificial selection models, such as traditional gene... Read More about Towards the evolutionary emergence of increasingly complex advantageous behaviours.

Perpetuating evolutionary emergence (1998)
Book Chapter
Channon. (1998). Perpetuating evolutionary emergence. In From Animals to Animats 5: Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB98), Zurich (534 -539)

Perpetuating evolutionary emergence is the key to artificially evolving increasingly complex systems. In order to generate complex entities with adaptive behaviors beyond our manual design capability, longterm incremental evolution with continuing em...
