# Parameter values that make the evaluation of a Framsticks creature deterministic. # The values turn off random noise, so evaluation of the same genotype will always yield the same performance. # The advantage is that you do not need to evaluate a genotype many times, and performance values are reliable. # The disadvantage is that evolved creatures are "overfitting", i.e. rely entirely on the specific environment, # and their behavior may be different in any other environment or (even slightly) changed conditions or parameter values, # so each creature evolved using these settings must be later inspected using exactly the same setup. # # Before loading this file, load base settings, e.g. "eval-allcriteria.sim". # Put this file in the "data" subdirectory within the Framsticks distribution. sim_params: # always central location in the world: placement:1 # no need to evaluate many times: evalcount:1 # no random initialization of state in neurons: randinit:0.0 # other noise parameters: nnoise:0.0 bnoise_struct:0.0 bnoise_vel:0.0
