Researchers have developed a novel system that jointly learns self-organization rules and pre-patterns, inspired by biological development. This approach, using a Neural Cellular Automaton (NCA) paired with a learned pattern generator (SIREN), allows for controlled variation and measurement of the interplay between these components. Information-theoretic analyses reveal how information is distributed between pre-patterns and self-organization, demonstrating that effective pre-patterns bias developmental dynamics for better convergence, robustness, and symmetry breaking.
