Abstract
A simulation environment has been created to support study of emergent
communication. Multiple agents exist in a two-dimensional world where they
must find food and avoid predators. While non-communicating agents may
survive, the world is configured so that survival and fitness can be enhanced
through the use of inter-agent communication. The goal with this version of
the simulator is to determine conditions under which simple communication
(signaling) emerges and persists during an evolutionary process.
