I assume everyone here is familiar with the agorics papers of Drexler and
Miller: http://www.agorics.com/Library/agoricpapers.html and this one of
mine: http://autogeny.org/chsmith.html which combines agoric and genetic
algortihms (in a system named "Charles Smith" :-)

Also related is Eric Baum's work described at
http://www.whatisthought.com/eric.html
See
"Manifesto for an Evolutionary Economics of Intelligence"
for theory and
"Evolution of Cooperative Problem-Solving in an Artificial Economy"
(or related discussion in What Is Thought?)
for a simple narrow-AI application based on the theory.
What I am doing with artificial currencies within Novamente is not
much like either Drexler & Miller's or Baum's ideas, but was
philosophically inspired by both...
