In this podcast episode I get into the first details of how the Blind Watchmaker works, since the design seems to be solidifying into something that looks tight and actually has proven to do something, building D@H bodies. The next step, as I said at the last Greythumb gathering, is to get the blind-watchmaker code to also manage behavior.

The plan now is to go step by step from the very basics of the blind watchmaker development, and see if people can contribute ideas and maybe code as we go. At least people can stop me from doing stupid things, if they're listening.

Blind Watchmaker

  1. Generic Binary Genome & Instruction Sets
    • Bit strings
    • Invented but remembered
    • Short bit string --> method call
  2. Nuance parameters (with bit precision)
    • Spectrum between two ends
    • They come from the genome
  3. Cost
    • Default is bit-length
    • Instructions represent expenditure
    • Observations are acts too
