Growth of self-canceling code in evolutionary systems
2006
Proceedings of the 8th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation - GECCO '06
This research examines the behavior of inoperative code (introns) in the evolution of genetically robust solutions. Genetically robust solutions are solutions that are less likely to be degraded by genetic operators, such as crossover. Previous work has shown that there is significant evolutionary pressure in favor of genetically robust solutions and that evolving programs adopt a number of strategies to increase genetic robustness, notably an increase in inoperative 'genes' (individual genetic
