Abstract

Creative domains such as art and music have distinct properties, not only in terms of the structure of the arte- facts produced by in terms of their cultural dynamics and relation to adaptive functions. A number of theo- ries have examined the possibility of functionless cul- tural domains emerging through a runaway evolution- ary process. This includes models in which engaging in creative domains is actually counterproductive at the in- dividual level, but is sustained as a behaviour through an evolutionary mechanism. I present a multi-agent model that examines such an evolutionary mechanism, derived from these theories.
