Wes, very cool optimisation problem, thanks for including your research here ... I'll have a read through before I get back to you on how your variant of the problem is cheating with respect to real biology. :-)

Given that Cryptoguru preemptively excluded studies of movement, I have no doubt that his boundless capacity for unjustified dismissal will allow him to do just that.

However, I have demonstrated that Avida is not dependent on having anything that corresponds to a Dawkinsian "distant ideal target", nor a hierarchical set of rewarded functions, in order to evolve behavior useful to Avidians.
