You might be interested in this paper which was talked about on HN last week:

“Computational Life: How Well-formed, Self-replicating Programs Emerge from Simple Interaction”

Thanks. They have linked a video showing this [0] and also ascii recording of the program showing self replicator [1]. This is very helpful. It means at some point we will have artificial life simulations which do evolve replication naturally.

What does "evolve replication" mean?

I am naive about this subject and my wording for this might be technically wrong. What I meant was replication emerging in the simulation instead of being predefined.
