Testing Darwin
Came across this article called Testing Darwin off Brad Fitzpatrick's LJ. It's an incredibly interesting read, as it discusses the experiments several researchers have done over a number of years now involving an artificial life program called Avida. In this simulation, software programs can mutate and are rewarded or punished (from a survival point of view) when they succeed at processing numbers (i.e. resources). The results of these experiments are extraordinary.
