Figure 3. The sensory-motor mutual information, SMMI, as a function of fitness.

Figure 3

Along each of 126 evolutionary histories the line-of-descent (LOD) of the fittest agent after 60,000th generation is traced back. Absence of cross-over in the evolution confirms that only one agent lies on LOD in every generation. SMMI is calculated every Inline graphic generation for the agent along the LOD. The data is color-mapped according to the number of generation the agent belongs to. The magenta star at Inline graphic correspond to SMMI of 1.08 bits for Einstein - an optimally designed, rather than evolved, network that still retains some stochasticity. Note that SSMI is bounded from above by 2 bits.
