This is very cool stuff. Are you going to publish this?
I ask, because I'd like to put it on my blog. If you're going to publish, I'll wait. But if you don't mind, I can write something up or if you want to write something up, I'd like to post this.
It's directly relevant to a discussion I'm having with another Meyer worshiper who doesn't realize that mutations can cause huge changes in populations. |
The linked paper is as published as that will be getting.

So anything out of that is fair game for comment.
There's a section on "future work" in the paper. What I'm hoping to do next is to move on to building environments with both a positive and a negative "resource", so that the organisms will need to evolve both appetitive and aversive responses. If that comes together quickly enough, a colleague has pointed out a conference submission deadline at the end of March.
