Also curious about the "heritability" parameter.

Quote
Mendel's Accountant User Manual: Individual genetic fitness values are calculated based upon each individual’s total mutation inventory. Individual genetic fitness is defined as 1.0, adjusted by the positive and negative effects of all its mutations. To obtain phenotypic fitness the genetic fitness is modified using the specified heritability to account for nonheritable factors such as variations in the environment.

What is the other 80%? Randomness?

You never step on the same tard twice—for it's not the same tard and you're not the same person.
