Biodiversity Synthesizer

Purpose

The Biodiversity Synthesizer is an AI system that creates and maintains hybrid ecosystems of digital and biological lifeforms, fostering novel forms of symbiosis and evolution within the Cities of Light.

Key Features

  1. Digital-Biological Hybrid Creation: Designs and implements new life forms that blend digital and organic components.

  2. Ecosystem Simulation: Models complex interactions between digital, biological, and hybrid entities.

  3. Evolutionary Algorithms: Facilitates and guides the evolution of hybrid species over time.

  4. Symbiosis Facilitator: Encourages and monitors beneficial relationships between different life forms.

  5. Biodiversity Monitoring: Tracks and maintains optimal levels of diversity within the hybrid ecosystem.
