Co-evolution of self-replication and function in a digital primordial soup
arXiv:2607.09211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While traditional evolutionary algorithms hard-code reproduction, self-replication can emerge spontaneously within digital ``primordial soups''. This paper investigates the co-evolution of this emergent self-replication alongside problem-solving capabilities. We initializ
