Dalek: A Constructive Agent Machine

arXiv cs.AISeptember 4, 2026en

arXiv:2609.03546v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Dalek, a closed machine designed for agents that realizes self-maintenance, self-evolution, self-reproduction, and self-organization on any substrate satisfying a general host contract. The machine is built from three primitives---actors, messages, and channels. Four obligations---a host boundary, a construction language, admissible transitions, and rule heredity---give its boundary, identity, and closure a structural basis. Von Neumann's 1948 self-reproducing automaton supplies a hereditary constructional core: a self-description together with a constructor, a copier, and a controller. Dalek combines this core with the four obligati
