Population file (XML)_eac3

root element: eacirc_population

• population_size
  number of genomes in a population
• circuit dimensions
  • num_layers
    total number of layers in a circuit (excluding input and output layers)
  • size_layer
    number of functions allowed in one circuit layer
  • size_input_layer
    number of inputs in the selector layer (these serve as inputs to the first function layer)
  • size_output_layer
    number of outputs in the final layer, must not be greater than common layer size
• population
  wrapper element for individual genomes
  • genome
    full genome value in binary format (genome_size x unsigned char)
    individual genes are represented in numerical form, separated by space
    circuit layers are separated by 3 consecutive spaces (alternating connector layers and function layers)
