Ensoul: A framework for the creation of self organizing intelligent ultra low power systems (SOULS) through evolutionary enerstatic networks

Abstract

Ensoul is a framework proposed for the purpose of creating technologies that create more technologies through the combined use of networks, and nests, of energy homeostatic (enerstatic) loops and open-ended evolutionary techniques. Generative technologies developed by such an approach serve as both simple, yet insightful models of thermodynamically driven complex systems and as powerful sources of novel technologies. "Self Organizing intelligent Ultra Low power Systems" (SOULS) is a term that well describes the technologies produced by such a generative technology, as well as the generative technology itself. The term is meant to capture the abstract nature of such technologies as being independent of the substrate in which they are embedded. In other words, SOULS can be biological, artificial or hybrid in form.
