Results Simulation 5 ran for 1000 Epochs with a starting population of 1000 organisms. Ideally population growth should follow an upward trend, however it doesn’t follow any pattern. By the 300th e...

Fitness, cell count, and offspring counts trend positive over multiple generations and epochs. Currently no organism is reaching old age. Death type tends towards exhaustion over time. Energy effi...

Results Epochs 2 -3 tend to be short lived organisms with no children. Epoch 4 starts seeing larger organisms, and significant seed ejection. Epoch 5 algea started appearing. Pure roots with expone...

Results 4x population increase over 2861 ticks. Mostly small colonies of up to 10 cells. Better root to leaf ratios. Changes Increased gene size to 8 bits Normalized fitness function Though...

Results Most organisms starve themselves rapidly. Occasionally hyper-root organisms delevelop and starve seeds by collision detection. Leaf nodes rarely get higher than 1 stem node. Heavy root deve...
