Outline of Final Research Achievements

To reach intelligence through emergence, we need to implement multi-level emergence. Here, we do not mean emergence of property, but emergence of some physical entity that can be used as building blocks for the next-level emergence. For a system to be multi-level emergence, the first-level emerged entity must be auto-identified and fixed by the system.
We first tried to mimic emergence of cell-like structure in our cellular automaton that become elements of the next-level emergence. Once a second order emergence is achieved, it can be repeated to multi-level emergence in principle.
