| Overview | ||||
| Simulation start up | ||||
| describing the start-up population | parametric bounds for randomly generating the population | |||
| describing the attributes of the 'ideal' individual in the population | the optimal attribute combinations - for selection (copying preferences) | |||
| describing the copy, select, and vary mechanisms | inexact copies with variability, copied independently | |||
| Running | ||||
| array run on server | array loop: child -> parent, then next gen. child | |||
| Display | 2 different generations on display side by side | |||
| selecting the stats to display for the generations | too many causes confusion | |||
| Review params | paraneters used in the simulation | |||
| Review and discussion | copying as passing information from one generation to the next | |||
| Evolution as information passing with a learning component | experimenting to optimize, using all individuals from a population | |||
