  • Abstract
    We survey state-of-the-art methods of information dynamics and briefly discuss some of the popular measures, exemplifying their use in different contexts, including cellular automata, swarming behavior, modular robotics, and random Boolean networks. Several possible principles that generalize the patterns observed in the examples are also suggested. These principles are aimed at providing thermodynamic interpretations of critical phenomena exhibited by many complex Artificial Life systems.
