Rulial Evolution

Local rulial evolution

[inhomogeneous]

Global rulial evolution

Plot loss vs. “position” in rule-array space

Probably want to lay out rule-array space in branchial space wrt multiway rule of mutations...
Evolution is moving one step in branchial space...

Continuously going from one CA behavior to another

e.g. rule 0 to rule 255: directed percolation

Problems to study

Autoencoder [ e.g. for blocks of a certain size with translation ] [ initially: a single block ]
Distributed consensus [ density > 0.5 : all black vs. all white ]
Audio classification
Language classification
Parenthesis matching ?
[Logic expressions : e.g. satisfiability ]

Outline

Given an f[x] that is learnable ....
is the complexity of rule array:
a reflection of frozen history
or a reflection of some fundamental complexity of the function when viewed in this basis
What does a simple program look like when compiled into a “alien basis”? Usually, it will have a computationally irreducible interpreter [??]
The function f and the underlying basis are not so close in rulial space : i.e. the “f mind” and the “basis mind” have a hard time communicating
Is simplicity in “f space” aligned with simplicity in “basis space”
Here we have an evolutionary way of approximating the distance between programs
[[ How do observers get to implement simple functions f ]]
[ Robust learnability of f, g, h , .... in this system ]
Metalearnability is helped by the fact that the encoding for any given f, g, ... is not simple
(if it was simple, the learning would be very brittle)
To be “general purpose” the “programs” you run can’t be very simple .... there is always a fair rulial distance between the underlying basis and the thing you’re trying to do/learn
<< If the rule array is too pruned, it’ll no longer be teachable ... >> < the blessing of dimensionality >
