In any case, you haven't provided us enough information to be sure we are properly simulating your model. If we consider these two genomes:
1111111111111111111...
and
1111121111111111111...
You've defined fitness as the sum of the alleles. Assuming strong positive selection and a low mutation rate, the 2-mutation should quickly dominate the population. With a high mutation rate, then various mutants will compete to dominate the population, but any pure-strain will be quickly overwhelmed.
Among your original organisms, Organism 2 will quickly dominate the population. The 3-allele in Organism 4 will almost definitely be lost. But then any future advantageous mutation to the dominant Organism 2 will then come to dominate the population:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...
and
xxxxxXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...
Remember, Neils only has to outrun Albert.
