Abstract. Proteins, under native conditions, fold to specific 3D structures according to their 1D amino acid sequence, which in turn is defined by the genetic code. The specific...

We describe two simple simulations in which artificial organisms evolve an ability to respond to inputs from within their own body and these inputs themselves can evolve. In the fi...
