Description

Utilities for working with genes that are encoded as a sequence of bytes, using a Binary Reflected Gray Code (BRGC).

A Gray code maps values to codes in a way that guarantees that the codes for two consecutive values will differ by only one bit. This feature can be useful in evolutionary programming because the genes resulting from a crossover operation are likely to be similar to the inputs. This helps to ensure that offspring are similar to their parents, as any radical changes from one generation to the next are the result of mutation alone.

Synopsis

Documentation

class Genetic g where Source #

A class representing anything which is represented in, and determined by, an agent's genome. This might include traits, parameters, "organs" (components of agents), or even entire agents. Instances of this class can be thought of as genes, i.e., instructions for building an agent.

Methods

put :: g -> Writer () Source #

Writes a gene to a sequence.

put :: (Generic g, GGenetic (Rep g)) => g -> Writer () Source #

Writes a gene to a sequence.

get :: Reader (Either [String] g) Source #

Reads the next gene in a sequence.

get :: (Generic g, GGenetic (Rep g)) => Reader (Either [String] g) Source #

Reads the next gene in a sequence.

getWithDefault :: g -> Reader g Source #
