This page is about a simplified version of the Poietic Generator that we call SPG.
ex: 7 colours - Size = 5 - Horizon = 16
In the SPG, each cell of the matrix consists in only one pixel. Each player, as
a result, can only control one among K colours.
Moreover, all players are instantiations of the same decision rule.
This experiment shows that a simple strategy, the "principle of maximum unexpectedness", leads to seemingly creative actions.
When several instances of the strategy play together the SPG, we observe an emerging behaviour
which consists in visiting simple patterns in an unpredictable way.
