Natural authenticity is about creating real-world models and verifying artificial life models with real world data (? No?)

Is nature the inspiration in artificial life?

(From User:Miriam: Delete these if you think I'm taking this off in the wrong direction)

At what point is something a real-world model? Any model will be a vast simplification of real systems. Is it a matter of skillfully abstracting certain aspects of real systems?

Can real-world authenticity help to attract people to the field of artificial life? Karl Sims' Blockies seems to excite people more than Tomas Ray's more esoteric Tierra.

Much more to add!
