First steps

Before evolutionary computing can be applied, I have to develop a vocabulary for the representation and manipulation of three-dimensional forms. Such a vocabulary is needed for the construction of the genotype and growth of the fenotype.

Here I used the approach with "particle agents". Each particle/agent holds a set of properties - spatial position, direction, speed, color etc. When time passes, the properties are manipulated according to a set of simple rules. Changing the rules, you get something completely different each time the simluation is run.

Is it "just a random development"? Of course it is, but don't underestimate the power of "random". The eyes and brain you're using to read this are the result of random events, together with a little natrual selection, of course (we'll discuss the intelligent design hopefully some other time :-)).
