Robustness to Faults Promotes Evolvability: Insights from Evolving Digital Circuits.
We demonstrate how the need to cope with operational faults enables evolving circuits to find more fit solutions. The analysis of the results obtained in different experimental conditions indicates that, in absence of faults, evolution tends to select circuits that are small and have low phenotypic...
