Because Bert has come at it more from the ALife/engineering approach, and Will\u2019s interests run more in the direction of proving capabilities of broad classes of systems, often interested in their aggregation as categories (and also about the role of simulation as a replacement for proof in systems that produce complicated enough state spaces), it should be a productive and interesting collaboration. I don\u2019t know how engaged others are in the Google group on this specific project, because I am too far outside that loop.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Eric <br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 23, 2022, at 4:03 PM, Jon Zingale <<a href="mailto:jonzingale@gmail.com" class="">jonzingale@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#333333"><a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.05433.pdf" class="">https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.05433.pdf</a><br class=""></div></div>
