Building on work in self-modifying architectures, EEXIST is a model of computation where time and space are continuous; where the effect of each action is felt immediately everywhere; and where there is no distinction between subject and object, because everything is at all moments acting on and being acted on by everything in the system. The resulting system is difficult to program, but seems to evolve quickly in a genetic framework, allowing the system to learn behaviors such as performing logical operations or playing games. This text introduces the basic concepts of EEXIST and describes several sets of experiments performed to better understand the nature of the system. All of this work has been done in an open-source environment, with all code and data freely available to anyone interested in working with it.
