- Music has a deep biological connection, with neuroscience showing it precedes language development.
- A 'melody breeder' was created to simulate musical evolution, where melodies compete, reproduce, and evolve.
- Musical evolution mirrors biological patterns, with melodies replicating, mutating, and undergoing selection pressure.
- Conway's Game of Life was adapted to create evolving, unpredictable music based on cell interactions.
- Cultural trends, like the Labubu phenomenon, spread similarly to viruses, showing parallels in information dissemination.
- Cultural evolution follows universal patterns, with ideas replicating and adapting to survive.
- Programming enables the simulation and visualization of complex evolutionary processes in music and culture.
