There's a lot of work Santa Fe has done in A-Life (from whence this comes),
also look at the proceedings of the annual conferences in Artificial Life
that they are major hosts of

> Abstract
>
> In several recent publications I have developed, from different points of

development

> The problems involved in a theory of organic development may be gathered
up

> consideration, the "factor" which I propose to bring out, is operative in
> the first instance, in the field of Ontogeny; I shall consequently speak
> first of the problem of Ontogeny, then of that of Phylogeny, in so far as
> the topic dealt with makes it necessary, then of that of Heredity, under
the
> same limitation, and finally, give some definitions and conclusions.
