 Today is the deadline of the six-month multi-cellular challenge. Let's take a one-minute look at a demo to get started to see when results zoomed out, but only the last most recent one actually gives birth in that variation. So How did I do? This was the goals for this time. Mix slash MC slash lives and reproduces. Yeah, well, that's kind of what we just saw Also supposed to have MC backslash or little die. In other words, another species bailed at that. Schedule for the rest of 2023 also kind of failed at that Gigantic McFun. I did pretty well at that. I want to talk about it a little bit. All right So here is the overall six-month schedule We did pretty well Coordinated movements still not really there and the school pageant the multi-cellular manager. He didn't make that either I'm gonna break with tradition and give the goals for next month here now because according to the official plan There might not even have been another T Tuesday after this one today But there's gonna be at least one more August 1st multi-cellular challenge T plus one and the first goal is to have Multiple species of multi-cellular not just MC slash But one or two others as well Running on the T2 matrix now that may be That they're running on individual simulations that might be fine. It may be a you know, Elon Zuckerberg cage match of all of them I don't know Also, the a-life conference is gonna be the end of July. So let's have a successful talk there And I want to have a new video out on the Dave Ackley channel something a little bit more approachable To more people than this extremely esoteric stuff that I thank so much The you know folks that managed to come in and find some value in it and I want to have fun Not just big fun. I want to have fun every day. We'll see how I do All right, that's results and goals. So cool new stuff Bylayer membrane on T2 matrix. What does that mean? Well in in the discord there? There's somebody named Sergei SH in my mind. It's a Sergei shell That has done a bunch of really useful work on the oolong compiler directly as well as Rebuilding bond mechanics that existed way back when early before oolong. He's now Yeah, I don't even know if it's a Sergei has recreated. Yeah and He put up a YouTube Video of a bunch of them working and for one reason or another the T2 matrix was not running anything else So it was like well, you know, let's get this thing going on the T2 matrix and see what it looks like I'm always thrilled to get stuff from other folks. So let's take a quick look Yeah, it's a little bit hard to see this. This is about two days worth of stuff Going by in you know a minute or whatever But it's very interesting because you know, they start out as these sort of square things But then they gradually condense and in fact it makes kind of like a multi cellular Organism just in a very natural organic way They sort of cluster into specific T2 tiles kind of in that lightning light means powers out again from PNM so We're not sure how much time we've got left on Yeah, and we didn't have much time left The power came back on about one minute after the UPS failed on the T2 tile matrix, so we need to get some beefier backup if Things are gonna keep going with the electrical supply. We've had several outages It was a little difficult to see what was going on there So so here this is the bilayer membrane that you can see the sort of ladder shapes that are formed that it starts out as a Single one, but it gradually assembles into a multi-layer one and you can see that there's like bilayer membranes going through the middle of This thing because that's actually two cell membranes that have made a multi cellular organism So very cool. Thank you Sergei for all that you've done A stream deck and now, you know, there is this product the stream deck that all the cool kids use For their live streams so that they can switch between things And like so many of these things the manufacturer doesn't support Linux And also like so many of these things the community steps up and does it itself So Timothy Crosley had this great stuff software called stream deck UI that I used a lot For I don't know however long since I've had a stream deck It's got all kinds of features. It's a really great. It's just had one thing that drove me crazy You can do anything you want at the press of a button But what you can't do is anything at the release of a button So if you want to have something that happens just while the buttons down and then automatically stops when you let go Stream deck UI is really not your pick So after the last t Tuesday update I took a week and I made stream back Made one of my own versions that controls the stream decks Initially just to get the feature of being able to program the release of the buttons and so now we've got it, you know, there's this Text file format that you can describe it's basically a hierarchical window manager That you can do with nested stuff Except at the bottom instead of being pixels. There's buttons and it's here. It's working Here it is. We can we can switch around And it works great and the hierarchical window manager means we can like overlay Segments of buttons even across I have to I have two stream deck controllers This is the one of the original ones. This is the mark two But it all comes out to the same thing And we can do all of this stuff and it works great and of course finally have the Ability to do momentary pop-ups. So when somebody does says something aggravating or whatever I have my fully operational meme cannons that I can fire away With you know those snark deliveries, so that was a lot of fun I actually have a little bit more plans to do on it And I want to be able to use this for the some of the videos for the day back the channel. So that was okay Cool stuff and then of course the main event is the challenge. It was completed With certain last risks and so forth, you know, I mentioned I showed all these last update But I didn't actually talk about them, but they're all real problems and I dealt with a lot of them Not all of them In the in the month that has just passed. So, you know Body control all of this stuff is better is better And the fact that these things are better is why that opening demo actually got as far as it did and you know, I don't like that toot my own horn, but You know one of the reviewers of the a life paper Was was kind of trying to diss the paper by saying it was like almost just a tech report You know, which is fighting words to scientists because they want to do eternal truths and great verities And so being a mere tech report is to To be snagged about it, but you know thinking about it my responses, you know, yeah, but you've never seen tech like this This is so cool stuff So what I'm claiming here is that we now have these multicellular diamond organisms in a non-deterministic indefinitely scalable cellular phenomena that just demonstrates homeostasis growth and healing program controlled cell replication and differentiation That's all new multicellular organism morphogenesis building a multicellular shape doing coordinated cell division growth and movement We just saw all that We'll see what the rest of the world things Okay Here we are Here's a two version so each MC slash here wants to have two kids rather than one This is just started running on the Matrix after the power outage took out the bilayer membranes theme song here and So this is off to a great start and we will see August 1st how well all this turns out as well as Other species and so on and so forth, but this this is absolutely from just this morning We've got the original ancestor. Oh the original ancestor just had its second kid So now this is mature and it's just going to try to go walk about while the other ones Of course, they're gonna fog it all up. So there's no place to go So far so good. We'll see. We'll see how long the power lasts as well. All right The cheat report cannot end You know, there is a ton of stuff about this that I don't like that is not like real biology Probably top on my list is that the body plan that governs the shape of all of this stuff Is almost all part of the physics Down coated directly an oolong rather than being part of the biology meaning being part of the program loop that could in principle Evolve even though the physics is fixed The body model is a single atom instead of a more complex chain capable of carrying more information and variations Kind of the same thing the MC slash the pair of them. They do not move very fast They basically don't move any faster than they would if they were two individual diamonds that one was kind of jostling the other one and They die alone and one of the hallmarks of being an organism is you have shared fate the Organism travels together the organism dies together and there are still deadlocks now, you know All of this was disappointing I didn't want to have that and I tried to fix as much as I could but in fact one of the reasons It took so many months to get to this thing was because I was trying to avoid these cheats for three months Anyway, I think the body model was a whole little loop of four atoms that was supposed to be more configurable more flexible and so forth I could never figure out how to use it. I could never get anything going and finally because it was now down to do or die I just said let's simplify it. Let's just put it in the physics will understand what it is And we'll figure out how to make it more flexible later and that's what made it possible That's what made it all work And so I have ideas how to address the speed motion and how to address the share fate That hopefully we will see relatively quickly in the code development for August 1st now, you know, I call it the cheat report You know folks who read scientific papers, you may say how come I don't see cheat reports in other papers And well actually you do it's just they have it under a secret name So when you read a paper and they start talking about future work, what they're really talking about is the cheat report. So And here's an example This was who showed it last time This was the the body model that if you're a cell nut type 2 then you have a 5-tag And if you're a cell type 3 then you have a 5-tag you want to connect and so forth That has now gotten even more complex and there's now even a new little programming language that governs that initial dance And after the split happens and they go and then they get together and go good. That's the boot code. That's running Could it be better sure will be better in the future. I hope so but does it all work? It kind of does it kind of does so that's what I had to say today back again. Here's the goals that we had Thanks so much for checking it all out have a happy 4th of July whether it's a holiday or not And I hope to see you next time You
