shvarz:
I'd love to help, but I can't figure out what you are asking. Maybe Nums can translate?
Botsareus:
Here is what happens now:
Robot A reproduces and produces Robot B and Robot C.
Robot B has a Red Fobia.
Robot C uses the color red.
Robot C kills robot B fast, giving it enough advantage to kill robot A as well.
Robot C is actualy less energy offisient for using the color Red but it kills Robot A anyway.
This prosses happen very often , and dna develops to favor this kind of ecosystems. Resolting in worse and worse robots.
P.S.
Did my image even load?
PurpleYouko:
So how come robot A is still in the same vicinity after C kills B.
Presumable Robot A would have moved on by then so if B is less efficient then it won't be able to catch and kill A.
Don't see the problem
Numsgil:
It's jsut a selective pressure, like anything else.
A better name for this should be the Oedipis Trough. (Trough as in fitness function landscapes)
How do you stop children from killing the parents? Well, the obvious way is to ensure children are weaker than the parent ie: reproduce at 5 .repro. Parents can then easily kill rogue children.
Botsareus:
--- Quote ---so if B is less efficient then it won't be able to catch and kill A.
--- End quote ---
B is less efficient and C is less efficient but its simply not enough.
Lets say A = 20 to B = 19 C = 19 , but C to B is 25 to 15.
Now what happens is (These are affesincy including population adavantage)
A <---> B A <---> C : A = 22 B = 18 C = 18
Then
C <--> B : A = 22 B = 28 C = 8
Then
C <---> A : A = 16 B = 28 C = 8
The again all over and C dies first , A dies second.
P.S.
Did my image load or not
P.P.S.
PY always thinks I am making stuff up :P
Num just came up with the a cool solution, Over populate the F1 screen and expect evolution to imporve robots for selective pressure. Going to try it brb.
Thx Num.
