[A Danish physicist from the Santa Fe Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Steen] Rasmussen, during the late 1980s, created a computer model that imitated primordial conditions with an artificial chemistry consisting of millions of computer instructions. As the computer ran through thousands of generations, digital "proto-organisms" died and new ones were created. Rasmussen concluded, among other things, that the evolution of lifelike forms depended on symbiotic, or co-operative structures, which seemed to emerge spontaneously within the system. "I think this is a law of the universe," says Rasmussen. "and it makes possible the jump from nonliving to living."  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - digital%20proto%2Dorganism
