Abstract

We present the Genetic LSystem Programming GLP paradigm for evolutionary creation and development of parallel rewrite systems Lsystems Lindenmayersystems which provide a commonly used formalism to describe developmental processes of natural organisms The Lsystem paradigm will be extended for the purpose of describing time and contextdependent formation of formal data structures representing rewrite rules or computer programs expressionsWith GLP two methods gleaned from nature are combined simulated evolution and simulated structure formation A prototypical GLP system implementation is described Controlled evolution of complex structures is exemplified by the development of tree structures generated by the movement of a 3Dturtle
