ok had to restart that one , after a while they all just died. The program saved the simulation as the ecosystem was dieing, and the next run we had unreproducteble robots so that was the end of that.
Then I was saving the robot only if its truly the "goodest" robot ever to exsisit.
During robot life every second it gets fittests top means:
(good = good + totrobs + totchilderen) for that robot
And I stombled on a really freaky problem of the auto save just frezzing over after about 30 minutes.
Thats when this anti Mueller's Ratchet radiation idea came to mind. Then I was getting autosaves that died out after a longer time then usual, so I went ahead and maid a chart to see whats going on: Looks like the stockmarket mixed with a plot of rnd mixed with somthing like: 1 0 2 0 1 0 3 0 1 0 2 0 1 0 4 0 1 0 2 0 1 0 3 0 1 0 2... know there is a math name for this kind of progression but I don't know the name. So Its a really freaky looking graph because you have a feeling that there is a relationship in the progression , but you cant really figure out what it is.
Generaly the more evolved the robot , the more time it takes to evolve further, atleast thats true so far. Scarry thing is, if you look back on the
1 0 2 0 1 0 3 0 1 0 2 0 1 0 4 0 1 0 2 0 1 0 3 0 1 0 2
replace all the 1 with n and all the 4 with b
n creaps slowly to zero over time while b slowly increases (now at 600)(maxed lest run on 1421)
so that means that n can hit zero in this system as well therefor all my robots will die.
there is more to this , for example: what happens when b is too high and n is too low compared to the general relationship of n to b, then the graph looks like its balancing itself out progressing as a stockmarket mixed with saw look, with each saw peace lower then the one before or higher based on what kind of prgression curve it is. <-- this curve has nothing to do with the curve of n droping or b rising btw.
So if you can imagine a fine mix of all that (the mix might also be following some kind of hiddin rules of mixing) you might get a pritty good idea how confusing this graph looks. Its right at the point were it is prodictable but its not , can make a skitzo out of anyone just by explaning this to them.
:P
