论文摘要
在本文中,我旨在调查和讨论事物“自组织”到其他事物中的过程。特别是,我试图将形态形式的结构稳定性的分析框架应用于连续的细胞自动机的背景下,称为$ \ textit {lenia} $,该{lenia} $显示出可区分的,个性化的复杂子系统的多样性,以自主和生命的方式表现为$ $ $ {$ \ textit。我这样做是为了提出开发方法的途径,以正式将所述子系统与其环境区分开。
In this essay I aim to investigate and discuss the process through which bundles of things "self-organize" into other things. In particular, I engage in such investigation by trying to apply a framework of analysis of structural stability of morphological forms to the context of a continuous cellular automata known as $\textit{Lenia}$, which displays great diversity of distinguishable, individuated complex subsystems, who behave autonomously and in lifelike manner (such subsystems are often known as $\textit{solitons}$). I do so in order to suggest a path to the development of methods to formally distinguish said subsystems from their environment.
