Abstrak

Recent research has extended methods from the fields of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics into other disciplines. Most notably, one recent work creates a unified theoretical framework to understand evolutionary biology, machine learning, and thermodynamics. We present simulations of biological evolution used to test this framework. The test simulates organisms whose behavior is determined by specific parameters that play the role of genes. These genes are passed on to new simulated organisms with the capacity to mutate, allowing adaption of the organisms to the environment. With this simulation, we are able to test the the framework in question. The results of our simulation are consistent with the work being tested, providing evidence for it.
