标题： Self-Reproduction and Evolution in Cellular Automata: 25 Years after Evoloops

摘要： 2024年标志着evoloops发表25周年，evoloops是Chris Langton的自繁殖环的一种进化变体，它通过构造性证明了在确定性细胞自动机中，通过变异和自然选择，自繁殖生物的达尔文式进化是可能的。 在过去几十年中，这一人工智能生命研究领域已经经历了几次重要的发展。 尽管一度经历了相对沉寂的活动期，但开放性进化的近期兴起以及连续细胞自动机模型的成功，使研究人员重新关注如何在空间分布的计算媒介中使时空模式自我繁殖和进化。 本文综述了过去25年来关于该主题的相关文献，重点介绍了迄今为止取得的主要成就、面临的挑战以及有前景的研究方向。 显示英文摘要

摘要： The year of 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of evoloops, an evolutionary variant of Chris Langton's self-reproducing loops which proved constructively that Darwinian evolution of self-reproducing organisms by variation and natural selection is possible within deterministic cellular automata. Over the last few decades, this line of Artificial Life research has since undergone several important developments. Although it experienced a relative dormancy of activities for a while, the recent rise of interest in open-ended evolution and the success of continuous cellular automata models have brought researchers' attention back to how to make spatio-temporal patterns self-reproduce and evolve within spatially distributed computational media. This article provides a review of the relevant literature on this topic over the past 25 years and highlights the major accomplishments made so far, the challenges being faced, and promising future research directions.
