Do you see a way to use abstract rewriting system over graphs from Wolfram Physics Project to represent code-data dual algothms that modify each other and form natural selection process?

Article Some Relativistic and Gravitational Properties of the Wolfram
Model (by Jonathan Gorard - 2020)
has interesting definition of abstract rewriting systems that work on graphs.

Do you see a way to use them to represent code-data dual algorithms that modify each other and form natural selection process? That could be a nice base for open-ended natural selection a-life model.

I'm interested in research direction of using code-data dual algothms that modify each other and form natural selection process to formally abstract notion of evolutional open-endedness (like Turing completeness is an abstraction of algorithms notion). More details: https://www.reddit.com/r/DigitalPhilosophy/comments/dzghec/openended_natural_selection_of_interacting/

Maybe you could advise some developed language or model for this task? The interesting part is to have code-data duality and enough rich language to kick start natural selection that would produce competing algorithms that would gradually become more and more complex (and gradually become closer to sentience).

Though the language might not even be Truring complete as it is. As natural assumption would be that the model should be finite in resources and it can get access to infinite time or memory only in time limit (assuming that the individual algorithms would survive for this to happen).
