Abstract

An experimental method is developed to evaluate the possibility of spontaneous emergence of self-reproducing patterns from a quasi-random configuration. In order to achieve viability to the emerging patterns and to their components a robust transition table is designed. Genetic reproduction is compared with self-inspection based reproduction in order to conclude that the latter is better adapted to achieve the specified goal.
