Evolution of Complexity: Tissue Differentiation in Network Tierra

Thomas S. Ray · 2000

ATR Journal

Thomas Ray's short article on the evolution of complexity and tissue differentiation in Network Tierra. The companion quotes his judgment that digital evolution was "a process with a very limited record of accomplishments", with Tierra-like systems tending to plateau. This is the risk to premise 4 of the long arc (C3), open-ended evolution, which noogenetic evolution may change.
