Nature's spectacular inventiveness, reflected in the enormous diversity of form and function displayed by the biosphere, is a feature of life that distinguishes living most strongly from nonliving. It is, therefore, not surprising that this aspect of life should become a central focus of artificial life. We have known since Darwin that the diversity is produced dynamically, through the process of evolution; this has led life's creative productivity to be called Open-Ended Evolution (OEE) in the field. This article introduces the first of two special issues on current research on OEE and on the more general concept of open-endedness. Most of the papers presented in these special issues are elaborations of work presented at the Third Workshop on Open-Ended Evolution, held in Tokyo as part of the 2018 Conference on Artificial Life.
自然界的非凡创造力，体现在生物圈所展现出的巨大形式和功能多样性上，这是生命的一个特征，使生命与非生命区别开来。因此，生命的这一方面成为人工生命的一个核心焦点也就不足为奇了。自从达尔文以来，我们就知道这种多样性是通过进化过程动态产生的；这使得生命的创造性生产力在该领域被称为开放式进化（OEE）。本文介绍了关于当前 OEE 研究和更广泛的开放性概念的两个特刊中的第一期。这些特刊中的大多数论文都是在 2018 年人工生命会议的一部分在东京举行的第三届开放式进化研讨会上提交的工作的详细阐述。
