The genotype-phenotype map of an evolving digital organism.

Paper summary

Characterizes the genotype-phenotype map of digital organisms using computed logic functions as phenotypes. The analysis finds uneven phenotype abundance, neutral connectivity, and asymmetric transitions related to robustness.

Relevance to the project

A direct measurement template for builder mutations and reachable behavior classes. Define phenotype at the intended causal level before counting novelty.

Genetic representationsDigital evolution

An instruction/logic-task map is one representation-dependent model.
