areas/alife/systems/biomrf/
This program illustrates Richard Dawkins' principle of cumulative
small change as a mechanism for Darwinian evolution. In essence,
the principle posits that a succession of small changes can yield a
significant and radical cumulative effect. This program is similar
to Dawkins' Blind Watchmaker program.
