Emergent Self-Replication and Polynomial Evaluation in Z80 Assembly Populations
July 18, 2026
This research demonstrates the spontaneous emergence of self-replication within a digital primordial soup of random 32-byte Z80 assembly programs. By linking interaction probability to polynomial evaluation success, the study shows how functional problem-solving can co-evolve with reproductive capabilities.
