Properties of biological mutation networks and their implications for ALife.

Abstract excerpt

We report a study of networks constructed from mutation patterns observed in biology. These networks form evolutionary trajectories, which allow for both frequent substitution of closely related structures, and a small evolutionary distance between any two structures. These two properties define the small-world phenomenon. The mutation behavior between tokens in an evolvable artificial chemistry determines its...
