Structural properties of genotype-phenotype maps.

Paper summary

Reviews structural features of genotype-phenotype maps, including redundancy, robustness, neutral networks, and biased accessibility of phenotypes. Different model systems illustrate how the map constrains evolutionary exploration.

Relevance to the project

Directly relevant to builder encoding: measure mutation locality, reachable structures, and neutral variation rather than judging an encoding solely by final fitness.

Genetic representationsDigital evolution

Properties depend on the chosen phenotype definition and representation.
