What do we mean by *agentic* anyway? We consider LLMs to be agentic when endowed with persistent memory, a self-extensible pool of tools and skills, and the capacity to act unprompted. Easy.

Because the agents interact in natural language, the collective remains open to inspection: you can read the traces, or simply ask the agents themselves! Where classical ALife derives interpretability from unit simplicity, agentic collectives derive it from unit interrogability.

Complexity and interpretability rarely coincide: complex systems are usually too opaque to question, while transparent ones are too simple interesting dynamics to emerge. What if we treated LLM agents as the basic computational unit to build agentic substrates? Paper thread 🧵

In Bristol for the week for the AI, Engineering Biology and Beyond conference hosted by @chofski.bsky.social. Very excited to meet the UK synthbio community. First day hackathon event was a blast!

ALife, information theory and complexity with an evolutionary lens. The book does a great job presenting the topics in a very pedagogical way. Highly recommended!
