  Topological Evolution of Simple and Complex Organisms: A Graph-Based Simulation Study on Adaptability and Evolutionary Constraints
  Author(s): Richard Murdoch Mongomery*
  
  This study aims to refine our understanding of evolutionary processes, particularly as they apply to complex organisms, using an innovative graph-based simulation approach. We model the topological evolution of simple (5-node ring graph) and complex (20-node dense random graph) organisms over 10 generations, applying different mutation rates to reflect biological realities. Our results provide intriguing insights into the potentially different evolutionary dynamics at play in simple versus complex organisms. While simple organisms demonstrate high topological flexibility and rapid adaptability, aligning with classical evolutionary models, complex organisms exhibit a surprising degree of structural stability. This stability persists even under mutation rates that would typically drive significant changes in simpler systems. The simulation highlights an important consideration: the intr.. Read More»
