abstract = "Self Modifying CGP (SMCGP) is a developmental form of
Cartesian Genetic Programming(CGP). It differs from CGP
by including primitive functions which modify the
program. Beginning with the evolved genotype the
self-modifying functions produce a new program
(phenotype) at each iteration. In this paper we have
applied it to a well known digital circuit building
problem: even-parity. We show that it is easier to
solve difficult parity problems with SMCGP than either
with CGP or Modular CGP, and that the increase in
efficiency grows with problem size. More importantly,
we prove that SMCGP can evolve general solutions to
arbitrary-sized even parity problems.",

Indeed allowing computer controlled evolution (CCE) to
manipulate novel physical media can allow much greater
scope for the discovery of unconventional solutions.
Last year the authors demonstrated, for the first time,
that CCE could manipulate liquid crystal to perform
signal processing tasks (i.e frequency discrimination).
In this paper we show that CCE can use liquid crystal
to solve the much harder problem of controlling a robot
in real time to navigate in an environment to reach an
obstructed destination point.},
