Best Fitness (with complexity vs. without complexity)
Although the results of the comparison between the fitness of the
best individuals from the tests with and without complexity as part
of the fitness measure does not reveal anything in particular, bear
in mind that most of the later populations of the test with
complexity were not very diverse--the "best" individuals in the
later part of the test with complexity were usually the same as many
others in the population, and just happened to draw a series of
bad random opponents. (See the
Average Fitness and Variety
graphs for more detail)
