Bruce Edmonds, Centre for Policy Modelling Evolutionary Units and Adaptive Intelligence Bruce Edmonds Centre for Policy Modelling Manchester Metropolitan University

Bruce Edmonds, Centre for Policy Modelling Different Evolutionary Processes Evolution of organisms (with brains) Evolutionary processes within brains (neural Darwinism, multiple drafts, neural networks etc.) Memetic evolution between brains Evolution of cultures and societies

Bruce Edmonds, Centre for Policy Modelling Some Confusions A brain is not a computer and a computer is not a brain External evolutionary processes are the builder - this is different from internal processes which may be the blocks Internal ‘self-organisation’ and externally driven evolution are very different

Bruce Edmonds, Centre for Policy Modelling Change due to Internal Interaction Social embedding Recursive internal grounding of interaction Meaning of interactions comes from emergent ‘culture’ Individuals increase personal advantage/computational load Whole system can drop in global fitness

Bruce Edmonds, Centre for Policy Modelling Change due to External Evolution Division of labour and competition External grounding of interactions Meaning of interactions comes from external adaptivity Individuals may have lower personal advantage and higher computational loads Whole system seeks maximal fitness

Bruce Edmonds, Centre for Policy Modelling What size might be necessary to support global brains? 1,000,000,000,000 cells in a human of which about 1 in 1,000 is a neurone Each cell is complex with 20,000 genes 1,000s of cultures composed of 1,000s of members In environment of 1,000,000,000 species Necessary environment 1 (planet earth) out of ??? candidate planets
