Minimality competition

<< < (3/3)

Numsgil:
It should balance the relative DNA lengths and their absolute lengths.  For instance, a bot with 100 DNA and a bot with 200 DNA are considerably different than a bot with 10 DNA and a bot with 20 DNA.

I have no specific advice for it, but I'll think on it.

viplex:
I haven't thought about the formula either, but yes some kind of "normalized" DNA lenght should do.

viplex:
If you had an ultra fast PC and much time, selection should do this "shortening" for you. Like in TIERRA. Under DB circumstances maybe you have to use higher energy loss at DNA execution in order to make this happen (and to leave your PC to his work for some days).

Good luck with that. You will get a crash in the first 3 hours.

Good luck with that, its called junk dna. We are currently having an argument with PY about it , gess who is winning?

viplex:
I wasnt talking of removing the junk form DNA. Think of the project TIERRA - where a new program evolved wholly capable of everything the original, manually typed program was, but this new one was 3 times shorter than the original code... the interesting in it is that that the programmer (Tom Ray) had done his best making the code as short as possible... so probably there was nothing to remove from the original code.
Anyway, I wont start a project like that on my medieval PC  :blueblob:
since mine would really crash soon
