OK cool, could that be introduced to this idea?
Meant 'How would that be' for would that apply to the sim idea.. but v interesting, thanks [Greven]! :D

Now that would definitely reduce all those possibilities. We could arbitrarily group variations together so that they code for the same environmental action.

Not quite. We have to get away from anything arbitrary as much as possible.
Think of it more as a wider range of similar codes that do the same thing.
Possibly think a single specific protein being produced due to a certain combination of bits within the Word. Say protein A will be made by any combination 1011101 found within the 32 bit Word. There exists the potential of this pattern appearing a lot of times in the 32 bits. They might even overlap.
Other bit patterns can do stuff like turning protein production on or off or redirecting available proteins to muscles or fat storage or all the other stuff an organism does.
To take this analogy a step further, the entire action/reaction could be controlled by the type and amount of these proteins that are present in the organism at the end of a given action cycle. The organism can then use these proteins to power movement or feed or whatever.

Well hasn't it all become much much easier to do by making duplicate codes?

To hell with them for now! We would want code that is remotely readable, surely?
I'm getting thoroughly excited :D

Actually the way I see it, from a purely evolutionary point of view, readability of code is the last thing you really want.
We could probably rig up some kind of interpretter to allow a little bit of design and and debugging but this concept is aiming for maximum possibilities of action within a somewhat limited environment.
Basicly pure evo.
Ulciscor:
Can't we just go with commands -> actions (visible ones) for now? Just to get it working?
