I'm replanting some seedlings and another house plant, and hoping to bring a self modifying simulation experiment I've been messing around with to some kind of decent conclusion as I really want to get back to my main hobby project now (a different simulation).

I'm curious what these simulations are about, would you care to elaborate?

The one I'm working on now is just a small experiment for a self-modifying simulation in Go that is based on this paper about open ended evolution: https://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/susan/bib/ss/nonstd/ecal11-1...
My goal is not really to implement the full architecture proposed here or achieve true open endedness, but just to play around with some of the mentioned concepts to understand them better.
My long term project is an amateur snail simulation. Someone else asked about it recently so I'll just link to the explanation I wrote up in relation to that question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17692871
