• abstract = "The exploitation of the physical characteristics has already been demonstrated in the intrinsic evolution of electronic circuits. This paper is an initial attempt at creating a world in which {"}physics{"} can be exploited in simulation. As a starting point we investigate a model of gate-like components with added noise. We refer to this as a kind of messiness . The principal idea behind these messy gates is that artificial evolution makes a virtue of the untidiness. We are ultimately trying to study the question: What kind of components should we use in artificial evolution? Several experiments are described that show that the messy circuits have a natural robustness to noise, as well as an implicit fault-tolerance. In addition, it was relatively easy for evolution to generate novel circuits that were surprisingly efficient.",
