Generaatoria
Generaatoria is a theoretical framework used to describe a class of generative processes that produce complex structure through the interaction of simple elements under rule-based constraints. The term is used in speculative and interdisciplinary contexts to highlight the capacity of rules to generate novel, organized outcomes without direct human guidance. In Generaatoria, a system is defined by a set of primitives, a rule set that governs their assembly, and an environment that constrains and selects certain configurations. The framework emphasizes recursion, multi-scale interaction, and the emergence of higher-order organization from lower-level rules.
Formal representations often employ graph grammars, L-systems, or cellular automata, and can be instantiated in software
Evaluation and criticism focus on the abstract nature of the framework, difficulties in empirical validation, and
