Cascade of complexity in evolving predator-prey dynamics.
Physical review letters - 8 Feb 2008
Guttenberg Nicholas, Goldenfeld Nigel
Abstract excerpt
We simulate an individual-based model that represents both the phenotype and genome of digital organisms with predator-prey interactions. We show how open-ended growth of complexity arises from the invariance of genetic evolution operators with respect to changes in the complexity, and that the dynamics which emerges shows scaling indicative of a nonequilibrium critical point. The mechanism is analogous to the...
