PREREQUISITES OF COMPLEXITY IN ARTIFICIAL LIFE. “First and foremost are of course the three conditions for Darwinian evolution themselves: replication, variation and selection. Of those, replication and selection are naturally present, and we argued above that variation can occur via a variety of mechanisms. However, in order for sufficient variation to be present so that selection can act efficiently, population sizes should be large.”
