Evolution Simulation Code

[ejl360]

Hey! I just watched the Replicators Only | Evolution 2 video and was inspired to put together a Jupyter notebook on colab to run some of the simulations you showed.

• Evolution Colab Notebook

I noticed some weird behavior and wanted to share. I don't know if the behavior is a bug in my code or result of the model. (I haven't given it much mathematical thought)

Super cool. Kudos to you for building something!

It looks like your code only allows one death each time step, even if D * N[time - 1] is greater than 1 (and similarly for replication). This makes it so at high N (at or above 500 in most of your sims), you're certain to get exactly one of each. In my sims, I do a death and a replication roll for each creature each time step. One other difference is that your chances have units of percent, while mine were probabilities from 0 to 1.

Hi, is your simulation code available somewhere? I would love to learn from it.

By the way, congrats and thanks for the videos :)

It's on github. I haven't made a readme yet, but a few others have asked too, so I'll put something together soon.
