Internal Factors in Evolution
associated_with
The idea that the geometry and dynamics of genetic material itself contributes directional ordering to evolution, beyond external Darwinian selective pressure

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Quantitative measure of how well an embryo matches the target pattern; used for selection.

Evolutionary force favouring solutions like stigmergy to overcome topological limits
Fitness epistasisconcept0.722
Non-additive interactions between components affecting fitness; when non-linearly separable, it creates non-decomposable wholes.
Fitness function (l2-distance)method0.716
Quantitative metric of closeness of embryo to target pattern; d = (1/N²) Σ(E_ij - T_ij)² with exponential scaling d' = 9^d.
