SIMPLIFYING EFFICIENCY. “Pargellis found that on average, a self-replicating sequence of instructions would spontaneously arise after about 400 generations. Initially, such ‘self-reps’ were often unnecessarily complex, and contained portions of code which performed no useful task, or were skipped over. This is directly analagous to the ‘introns’ and ‘exons’ found in real biological genes, where useful genetic information is interspersed with patches of nonsense.”
