Genesis Simulation 5 Results

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 epoch, the top 100 most fit organisms have been selected and further epochs provide no value. Maximum fitness does not rise above a normalized .4 which is extremely low.

Changes

• Now runs multiple epochs
• Roots harvest from surrounding soil
• Seeds cost less
• Leaves harvest more to account for stem growth / efficiency
• Configurable sampling rate
• Allows customizable ecosystems

Thoughts

Reincarnated organisms shouldn’t be directly added to the next epoch. Instead, we should mutate the reincarnated organisms before adding to the simulations to provide better heterogeneity.
