论文摘要
在最近的《人工生命期刊》中，关于开放式进化（OEE）的论文提出了一个简单的计算系统，据称它满足了对OEE的所有建议要求（Hintze，2019年）。对系统的分析和讨论用于支持进一步的说法，即复杂性和多样性是开放性的关键特征，我们应该专注于为这些术语提供适当的定义，而不是“为开放性寻求开放性寻求开放性”（Hintze，2019年，2019年，第205页）。尽管我全心全意地支持对OEE研究的复杂性和多样性的精确定义，但我强调拒绝这样的建议，即OEE本身并不是一个值得的研究主题。在同一期刊上，我提出了一个“高级概念框架，以帮助进化系统中开放性的讨论和实施”（Taylor，2019年）。在当前的简短贡献中，我将我的框架应用于Hinzte的模型，以了解其局限性。通过这样做，我证明了为了开放式而研究开放性的重要性。
A paper in the recent Artificial Life journal special issue on open-ended evolution (OEE) presents a simple evolving computational system that, it is claimed, satisfies all proposed requirements for OEE (Hintze, 2019). Analysis and discussion of the system are used to support the further claims that complexity and diversity are the crucial features of open-endedness, and that we should concentrate on providing proper definitions for those terms rather than engaging in "the quest for open-endedness for the sake of open-endedness" (Hintze, 2019, p. 205). While I wholeheartedly support the pursuit of precise definitions of complexity and diversity in relation to OEE research, I emphatically reject the suggestion that OEE is not a worthy research topic in its own right. In the same issue of the journal, I presented a "high-level conceptual framework to help orient the discussion and implementation of open-endedness in evolutionary systems" (Taylor, 2019). In the current brief contribution I apply my framework to Hinzte's model to understand its limitations. In so doing, I demonstrate the importance of studying open-endedness for the sake of open-endedness.
