An artificial Development approach aimed at development of electronic circuits has functional circuits as the end product. Functionality of circuits are given by the topology of the phenotype. The article investigates if the iterative processing of the genome in a development process can take advantage of the information provided in the genome and the information available in the emerging phenotype. The development process described is a rule-based system on a non-uniform Cellular Automata topology. The experiments presented investigate scaling of available resources in the phenotype for evolution of structural properties and genome scaling for expressing functionality in the structure of the emerging phenotype.
