Evolution to Edge of Chaos in NKCSW
Optimal K value represents the edge of chaos:
- Gas-Solid Transition occurs near K*
- Power-Law Distribution of species changes near K*
-
Selective pressure exists to drive each species toward K*
However, the K values for each species were not under evolutionary control in the NKCSW model.
Future work: Include K as another gene. Possibly introduce evolutionary computation instead of, or in addition to, hill climbing search.
