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.
