Average Complexity (with complexity vs. without complexity)
This graph quite clearly shows that the complexity of individuals
in a population that is not evaluated on their complexity will grow,
while that of a population that is evaluated on their complexity will
shrink until it reaches an asymptotic value, at which point the players
are just too simple to compete effectively. Futhermore, the graph of
the average fitness quite clearly
demostrates the suprerior performance of the individuals toward the
end of the test without complexity, which (as seen above) were actually
quite complex. From this, it is safe to say that the intuitive
correlation between the performance of a population and the complexity
of its members is probably correct.
