Now

  • My possible paths for immediate research (06/09):
    • reimplement Kashtan and Alon
      • to look at decay on scaled up systems
      • to scale up systems, and perhaps look at hierarchy
    • compare current evo with evo on independent legs, comparing mods
      • simple:calculate mods on arch004 bodies
    • evolve topologies on 6-leg agents
      • should I evolve six legs
      • should I change the perturbation?
    • Get Paul's agent going
      • Get integration code up
      • get some walkers evolved

Distant

  • For complex pixel images, look at needlepoint patterns, Islamic tiles and time evolution of Wolfram's rules
  • The process of development reduces modularity.
  • Diaz synch paper and epilepsy
  • Mitchell's approach to FARG and modularity in environments
  • Look into crowding out
  • sports stats

Past

  • Small world is a 'best of both worlds' between diameter of a random graph and clustering coefficient of a lattice. It takes very few random rewirings to give a lattice a random-graph's diameter. Is there a relationship between this and the particularly small value that mutation rate takes in GAs? Mutation rate is often conceptualized as a jump in the solution space, so it may not be hard to establish a connection.
