Stress sharing populations reached target morphology by generation 400, significantly faster than hardwired (1000) or without-sharing populations

• Stress-sharing populations reach anatomical targets faster than hardwired or non-sharing populations.finding0.897
  Populations with stress sharing discovered correct morphology by generation 500, vs non-sharing and hardwired (p≪0.01).
• For 20x20 grid, stress-sharing population reached max phenotypic fitness by generation 100; hardwired reached max at generation 1000; without-sharing never reached maxfinding0.887
  Demonstrates benefit of stress sharing across smaller grid complexity.
• In stress-sharing embryo, average stress reduced to zero at step 40 during sequential target morphogenesis; without-sharing stress settled at non-zero with <55 cells movingfinding0.834
  Shows stress sharing allows perfect formation of part-by-part target patterns.
• Stress-sharing embryos achieve perfect sequential target patterns; non-sharing limited to <1% improvement.finding0.830
  Stress-sharing embryos formed each sequential target with stress reducing to zero; non-sharing achieved only tiny improvements.
• Stress-sharing embryo utilized maximum competency of 4725 units until generation 400, then dropped to ~4500; without-sharing used ~100 unitsfinding0.814
  Links competency utilization to stress sharing and morphological success.
• Stress sharing benefit scales with grid complexity (20x20, 30x30, 50x50) and becomes more pronounced in later evolutionary stages when mutations alone failfinding0.812
• Stress sharing will be favored by evolutionary processes.hypothesis0.809
  Evolutionary fitness hypothesis tested in the GA.
• Stress sharing improves morphogenetic efficiency of multicellular collectives.claim0.808
  Central interpretive claim supported by multiple findings.
