BLOAT EFFECTS. “It has been long noticed that there are emergent phenomena in genetic programming (GP) runs unintended by the human designer of the algorithm. Early on it was observed that code which does not change the output of the program (i.e. non-effective code) appears in many GP runs. It was also noted that bloat affects many GP systems. Reasons for bloat and non-effective code have been examined in years past and remedies have been developed more or less effective under particular circumstances.”
