abstract = "We extend our analysis of repetitive patterns found in
genetic programming genomes \cite{langdon:2005:CS} to
tree based GP. As in linear GP, repetitive patterns are
present in large numbers. Size fair crossover limits
bloat in automatic programming, preventing the
evolution of recurring motifs. We examine these complex
properties in detail: e.g. using depth v. size Catalan
binary tree shape plots, subgraph and subtree matching,
information entropy, syntactic and semantic fitness
correlations and diffuse introns. We relate this
emergent phenomenon to considerations about building
blocks in GP and how GP works.",
