Open-Ended Evolution - Artificial Life

The motivation to study Open-ended evolution (OEE) in artificial life comes from the notion that life has evolved in an open-ended way. While there is not full consensus on how to define the specifics of OEE, at a high level it describes an evolving system that will never settle into a single stable equilibrium. Some researchers argue that the continual generation of novelty is sufficient for a system to be labeled as open-ended (Soros & Stanley, 2014), while others have suggested that OEE “refers to the unbounded increase in complexity that seems to characterize evolution on multiple scales” (Corominas-Murtra, Seoane & Solé, 2018). In practice, these definitions are closely inter-related, and OEE is often used as an umbrella term to refer to the study of them all collectively. The key idea of open-ended evolution is that a system produces organisms that are continuously evolving and changing, rather than organisms eventually reaching a state where nothing changes. How do we know if a
