Berlin Brown and Software Development

 This is a slightly interesting example of Cellular Automata but also sets up a basic Java 2D framework. You can see the game of life patterns form over time.  Also added a internal observer player on the grid and moveable player up top.   See the heads up display with additional information. See code at github https://github.com/berlinbrown/quick-games-in-day-examples/tree/main/java2d/cellular

 Taking this example. https://thousandbrainsproject.readme.io/docs/pretraining-a-model From Chat GPT. What you are seeing (high level) That image is a 3D point-cloud object model of a mug , built incrementally through sensorimotor experience. Monty didn’t get: labels (“this is a mug”) meshes CAD files Instead, it: Moved around the object Sampled local surface patches Bound those patches into a coherent object graph This visualization is essentially: “Monty’s internal belief of what this object is.”

Pretty easy to setup, now to understand what is going on. "What if intelligence doesn’t come from one big model, but from many small models that understand the world through movement and sensation?" The neocortex is made of thousands of similar cortical columns. Each column: learns a complete model of objects through sensorimotor interaction grounded in space and movement, not language More on monty github -  https://thousandbrainsproject.readme.io/docs/welcome-to-the-thousand-brains-project-documentation

Getting back into cellular automata - Cellular automata are models in which space is divided into a grid of cells, each with a limited set of states, where every cell updates its state simultaneously based only on its current state and the states of its neighbors. From these simple local rules, complex global behavior can emerge. See this example from github, graphics2d, java and other things. https://github.com/berlinbrown/quick-games-in-day-examples/tree/main/java2d/cellular And this is me doing it.

 More opengl Using opengl, java, libgdx.  Can do WASD camera movement, mouse movement, etc. https://github.com/berlinbrown/quick-games-in-day-examples/tree/main/libgdx/basic-opengl-setup/minirpg
