Meeting: Feb 22

Lets stick to original project idea, changing landscapes.

Notes:

Don’t need to run for 1 million generations.

maybe 250,000?

MAIN ISSUES:

high mutation rates!!!

change form default- 0.025????

shorter organisms?-

makes it harder for them to evolve and makes it run faster.

Run 50 replicates each.


Maybe set up changes in events file instead of transferring organisms to new run- every X updates kill off Y percent of the population.


parameter ideas?

say Y = 95%


fast X = 500 updates

slow X - 5,000 updates


Lets make our population size be 10,000! 100 x 100 grid.

real Elena paper for more ideas re: mutation rate and pop size.


Maybe do a test run and look up average generation time to decide how many generations we want between die-offs?


try to tie in biology?
