Abstract

We investigate a hypothesis, that structured, replicated code can be promoted by evaluation during development, and that this is the cause of the good performance of algorithms using developmental evaluation. We use compression as a tool to measure replication of code in this research. Our results show that evaluation during development does not promote replicated structured code. Hence we are left with two problems, explaining why developmental evaluation systems exhibit good performance, and understanding how replicated, structured coding has arisen in the genotype of natural biological systems.
