Research questionHow can an agent substrate support self-reproduction and self-evolution without losing constructional heredity?An agent that changes its own capabilities must preserve enough constructional information for those changes to remain reproducible in descendants. Combining maintenance, evolution, reproduction, and organization also makes boundaries, identity, transitions, and inheritance interdependent.

Latest papersRecent research connected to this question, newest first.Dalek: A Constructive Agent MachineThe source describes a machine for agents built from actors, messages, and channels, intended for substrates satisfying a general host contract. It presents a text-and-message agent substrate in which a language model and compiler produce capabilities that can be authored, compiled, installed into descriptions, and inherited. The evidence is a constructive design and derivation, not an empirical deployment or comparative evaluation.research paper · Sep 3, 2026
