Starcat is an architecture for open-ended cognitive systems that autonomously adapt their behavior
to continuously changing environments. The architecture has roots in a biologically inspired, complex
adaptive systems view of cognition. Recent ideas about the nature of autonomous behavior inform its
design, resulting in a system whose ongoing coupling with its environment drives its evolution
toward new behavior.
