Abstract: . Von Neumann's architecture for self-reproducing, evolvable
machines is described. From this starting point, a number of issues relating
to self-reproduction and evolution are discussed. A summary is given
of various arguments which have been put forward regarding the superiority
of genetic reproduction over self-inspection methods. It is argued
that programs in artificial life platforms such as Tierra reproduce genetically
rather than by self-inspection (as has previously been
