An Overview of Open-Ended Evolution: Editorial Introduction to the Open-Ended Evolution II Special Issue

An editorial overview of open-ended evolution introducing the Open-Ended Evolution II special issue of Artificial Life. Both papers cite it for the tendency of Tierra-like systems to plateau. A sustained plateau in open agent populations would refute the strong form of the long arc (C3), whose premise 4 requires evolution to stay open-ended.
