Title: A Principle of Minimum Complexity in Evolution

Journal: Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 496, 405-409

Comments: This paper presents a principle of minimum complexity in evolving systems. Minimum complexity is supported by results and observations from genetic algorithm research and information complexity theory. This paper introduces minimum complexity and presents quantitative evidence for minimum complexity in messy genetic evolution. There also appears to be a strong correlation with our theory and what is observed in biological genetics. Complexity based on the Lempel-Zif variety of Kolmogorov Complexity.
