This is especially true when the desired computation requires global communication and global integration of information across great distances in the cellular space. Various human- written algorithms have appeared in the past two decades for the vexatious majority classification task for one-dimensional two-state cellular automata. This paper describes how genetic programming with automatically defined functions evolved a rule for this task with an accuracy of 82.326%. This level of accuracy exceeds that of the original 1978 Gacs-Kurdyumov-Levin (GKL) rule, all other known human-written rules, and all other known rules produced by automated methods. The rule evolved by genetic programming is qualitatively different from all previous rules in that it employs a larger and more intricate repertoire of domains and particles to represent and communicate information across the cellular space.}, keywords = {genetic algorithms, genetic programming}, URL = {http://www.genetic-programming.com/jkpdf/gp1996gkl.pdf}, author = { Andre, David and III, Forrest H Bennett and Koza, John R.} }
