Abstract

SummaryIn this paper, a dissimilarity measure for artificial organisms is proposed. The organisms are simulated in the Framsticks system [10]. Properties of agents are enumerated formally, and the heuristic algorithm for estimating overall phenetic dissimilarity of two agents is described. An example of performance is shown on two selected organisms. Two clustering experiments with interesting results are presented using the UPGMA method. The properties of the measure are then discussed. Computer simulations of complex systems and their characteristics are compared to biological systems, which may bring up ideas for further experiments related to biology.
