Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

  • Isn't the topic more like a mixture of Software-Development, Electrical Engineering and Biology? Maybe the Artificial Life topics can be split and merged with the broader scientific topics like:
  • Software (-Development or -Engineering) - would be something like the game of life or maybe spreading patterns of viruses across networks etc.
  • Hardware (Electrical Engineering) - would be something like small robots acting as swarms, communicating and cooperate on certain tasks
  • Biology (to be created?) - technically "cloning" or more generally everything that was cultivated in a petri dish once, bred or genetically altered somehow
  • Having those topics under a "(Artificial) Life" category seems stretched to me.

  • EDIT: trichoplax' feedback in the comments convinced me, that the topic IS a cross-over and should be treated as such (not split up).

Isn't the topic more like a mixture of Software-Development, Electrical Engineering and Biology? Maybe the Artificial Life topics can be split and merged with the broader scientific topics like:

Software (-Development or -Engineering) - would be something like the game of life or maybe spreading patterns of viruses across networks etc.

Hardware (Electrical Engineering) - would be something like small robots acting as swarms, communicating and cooperate on certain tasks

Biology (to be created?) - technically "cloning" or more generally everything that was cultivated in a petri dish once, bred or genetically altered somehow

Having those topics under a "(Artificial) Life" category seems stretched to me.
