Abstract :
The effect of phenotypic complexity on distance correlation plots is investigated for two developmental mappings, a mapping based on L-systems, and a 2D cellular automata mapping. Our treatment of complexity is based on the theory of Kolmogorov complexity. A new genotype sampling algorithm called cross section walk is introduced.
