    • Modelling stigmergic gene transfer 

      Polani, D.; Prokopenko, M.; Chadwick, M. (MIT Press, 2008)
      We consider an information-theoretic model studying the conditions when a separation between the dynamics of a ’proto-cell’ and its proto-symbolic representation becomes beneficial in terms of preserving the proto-cell’s ...
    • Stigmergic gene transfer and emergence of universal coding 

      Prokopenko, M.; Polani, D.; Chadwick, M. (2009)
      We consider a simple information-theoretic model for evolutionary dynamics approaching the “coding threshold,” where the capacity to symbolically represent nucleic acid sequences emerges in response to a change in environmental ...
