Creatures Caves

Hmm... that would be challenging... It IS possible to get a brain's lobe, dendrite, and neuron states and dump all that information using CAOS, you could even write it into a file, so you could make a 'model' of a standard brain that would be complete, down to even the dendrite weights in the brain tracts, which are formed from the creature's experiences and learning.

There are also CAOS commands for stimulating neurons and setting dendrite weights, so technically it should be possible to create an agent that could read such a brain, or such a 'brain model' file and 'overwrite' all the neuron states and dendrite weights of a chosen creature's brain to create a 'brain copy'... it might even be possible to 'swap brains' in this way (at least as long as the two brains physically have the same structure).

I imagine the game engine is doing something similar in a general way when it is storing this 'brain state' information about creatures in your worlds when the game is saved, and as part of loading the creatures into the world when you open it again. I know it does not save this state information when you export a creature, though... To do what you are thinking of, you would almost certainly need a special agent.

This is from the CAOS documentation, and details the commands you might need... This is a list of all the commands there are for reading or setting brain states, but you really probably just need the ones concerning dendrite weights, since those are what contain all the creatures knowledge and experience. I think you'd also need a good amount of other information about the brain lobes and tracts to make a working agent, since I'm not sure about how to set the arguments to these commands, but using some of the other commands listed here should help with that in some way. I'm not sure though... I've never really messed with these commands myself:

BRN: DMPB (command)
Dumps the sizes of the binary data dumps for current lobes and tracts.
BRN: DMPD (command) TRACT_NUMBER (integer) DENDRITE_NUMBER (integer)
Dumps a dendrite as binary data.
BRN: DMPL (command) LOBE_NUMBER (integer)
Dumps a lobe as binary data.
BRN: DMPN (command) LOBE_NUMBER (integer) NEURON_NUMBER (integer)
Dumps a neuron as binary data.
BRN: DMPT (command) TRACT_NUMBER (integer)
Dumps a tract as binary data.
BRN: SETD (command) TRACT_NUMBER (integer) DENDRITE_NUMBER (integer) WEIGHT_NUMBER (integer) NEW_VALUE (float)
Sets a dendrite weight.
BRN: SETL (command) LOBE_NUMBER (integer) LINE_NUMBER (integer) NEW_VALUE (float)
Sets a lobe's SV rule float value.
BRN: SETN (command) LOBE_NUMBER (integer) NEURON_NUMBER (integer) STATE_NUMBER (integer) NEW_VALUE (float)
Sets a neuron weight.
BRN: SETT (command) TRACT_NUMBER (integer) LINE_NUMBER (integer) NEW_VALUE (float)
Sets a tract's SV rule float value.
