Abstract

One of the main challenges in developmental systems is the design of a method for building complex systems with a structural or computational goal. In previous work, we studied the common properties of several computational architectures consisting of connected computational elements. Their common property of sparsely connected networks, envisages how universal properties and processes can be included in a developmental mapping through an EvoDevo approach. The potentiality of using the same developmental mapping, to develop more than one class of computational architectures was also investigated through Common Developmental Genomes. In this work, the focus is towards development of intra-connected computational architectures, forming a common biological entity - a Hybrid architecture. Also, we explore how common developmental genomes operate under symbiosis and their effect on the evolutionary performance of the partners involved. The results are enlightening gaining a deeper understanding of the capabilities and the limitations of common developmental genomes in these original formations.
