From Living to Being - Part II: Digital DNA, Identity and the Emergence of Artificial Collective Beings

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: A conceptual companion paper to Genesis Cube or Squid Cube? A Dual-Use Framework for Artificial Collective Organisms. It develops the distinction between life-like operational functions and candidate digital beinghood, and proposes Digital DNA, intrinsic functional drives, identity continuity and lineage-level hypotheses as falsifiable research constructs. No consciousness, verified digital organism, digital species or experimental validation is claimed.
