The project was undertaken as a preparation for more original research for a master s thesis, and among other things to improve programming skills and to get more familiar with language evolution and modeling methodology. The controversy lies in the nature of these transmissions and the source of innovations. The communication in these models resembles real communication only in an abstract sense. The emergence of a net-grammar in communicating agents . We study this transition in a computational model of an evolving population of communicating agents.
Fewer studies exist that model genetic transmission of language capabilities.
Our model takes an extreme position, as it ignores learning mechanisms and semantics, and models genetic adaptation of particular grammars. The emergence of a net-grammar in communicating agents . In all this research, the same mechanisms for the generation and maintenance of complexity are being used as exploited in other Artificial Life research, and a similar complex dynamics can be seen to emerge.
