| Abstract: | To examine the effect and significance of the phenomenon of death, we have developed an artificial life simulator, SIVA-III
(simulator for individuals of virtual automata III), based on a “programmed self-decomposition model”. The architecture of
this simulator consists of a “finite heterogeneous habitation environment” and “artificial life with programmed individual
death and concurrent self-decomposition”. We conducted experiments under various settings to comparare and contrast mortal
life and immortal life. The results clearly demonstrated the validity of a self-decomposing, programmed individual death,
and the limitations inherent in immortal life, suggesting a striking superiority of mortal life over immortal life.
