Cells can have any non-negative integer in them (with zero representing the empty cell): In any given iterarion, for any cell , there is a (1-1/(k+1))/2 chance that the cell is filled with k, where k is the largest number in an adjacent cell, and a ( (1-1/(k+1))/2) chance that it will fill with k+1. Now, start this with a single cell with k=1 and all others empty. The population will rapidly expand, and “evolve” towards higher and higher integers, expanding rapidly from the initial point, with different populations of integers expanding outwards and competing.
Hmm. Yes. That meets my criteria for adaptation.
It’s pretty simple—I shoulda thought of that myself, and saved you some time.
