The open-endedness of a system is often defined as a continual production of novelty. Here we pin down this concept more fully by defining several classes of novelty and innovation that a system may exhibit. This leads to a definition of levels of structure in a systems model. From there, we define an architecture suitable for building simulations of open-ended novelty-generating systems. We also state some challenges for the community.
