Evolution of Complex Niche-Constructing Behaviors and Ecological Inheritance of Adaptive Structures in a Physically Grounded Environment.
Paper summary
Evolves virtual prey that construct physical structures to avoid a predefined predator. A two-dimensional physics environment and comparisons with ecological inheritance investigate how retained structures influence adaptation and structural diversity.
Relevance to the project
A reference for environmental modification and inheritance outside the organism. Compare evolved construction behavior with fixed task, predator, and building primitives.
The task supplies external selection; ecological inheritance is not automatically open-endedness.
