The term artificial physics has been used in another context, namely, in philosophical discussions concerning the artificial reality necessary to construct artificial life [9]. We use the term more generally to refer to any quasi natural physics model that we build to solve any particular task. 8.

....studies, H. H. Pattee has pointed out that most of them are no more than computer simulations of living system behaviors, since they contain symbolically described specific or arbitrary rules that metaphorically stand for something else, or deterministic equations empirically defined in advance [11, 12]. For these reasons, no matter how accurate they may be, these simulation results are different from the actual realization of living systems in a computer. Thus, he distinguishes computer simulations from computer realizations of life. The Atomoid is a computation model that implements an ....

It is important to point out that the term artificial physics has been used in another context, namely, in philosophical discussions concerning the artificial reality necessary to construct artificial life (AL) (Pattee 1995; Sullins 1997) We use the term in a much more general sense AP simply refers to any non natural physical model that we build to solve any task we wish to perform.

Others, mainly epistemologically interested researchers, have argued that Life is matter with meaning. Pattee 95] and that living systems are material structures with memory by virtue of which they construct, control and adapt to their environment. The fact that our notion of living systems stems from biological realizations which are physical, i.e. material systems, is obvious. The development of a purely ....
....through a process of abstraction, in which an I O behavior of the system interface turns into the center of scientific interest. It has been argued often before that it is generally impossible to reason backwards from the I O behavior of a system to the system that realizes a function [Rosen 85, Pattee 95, Prem 95a] Nevertheless, there still is a strong fascination that emanates from the formal dating back to Aristotle. In the first book of his physics Aristotle develops his theory of first principles, most importantly of form and matter. The argument starts with a discussion of the origin of ....
