Nature’s spectacular inventiveness, mirrored in the monumental selection of form and efficiency displayed by the biosphere, is a perform of life that distinguishes dwelling most strongly from nonliving. It is, subsequently, not surprising that this side of life ought to develop to be a central focus of artificial life. We have recognized since Darwin that the selection is produced dynamically, by means of the course of of evolution; this has led life’s ingenious productiveness to be often called Open-Ended Evolution (OEE) in the space. This article introduces the second of two explicit factors on current evaluation in OEE and provides an abstract of the contents of every explicit factors. Most of the work was provided at a workshop on open-ended evolution that was held as a part of the 2018 Conference on Artificial Life in Tokyo, and much of it had antecedents in two earlier workshops on open-ended evolution at artificial life conferences in Cancun and York. We present a simplified categorization of OEE and summarize progress in the space as represented by the articles on this explicit problem.
