Domain-specific¶
- Baldwin Effect
- Hinton and Nowlan (1987), in silico. A genome has 20 positions, each gene fixed (1 or 0) or plastic (?); fitness is nonzero only for one specific 20-bit target
This sourceThe source simulation: 'the genotype has 20 genes, each of which has three alternative forms (alleles) called 1, 0, and ?', and the network 'only confers added reproductive fitness on the organism if it is connected in exactly the right way'. The simulation result: a lifetime of up to 1,000 random trials turns an isolated fitness spike into a gradient selection can climb, and undecided alleles are progressively replaced — though Hinton and Nowlan report the replacement as incomplete, since 'there is very little selective pressure in favor of genetically specifying the last few potential connections'.
