Natural Selection of Flipons

Caption

A flipon acts as a switch by changing shape to produce different responses as the input changes. Natural selection then chooses flipons that are most adaptive to a constantly changing environment. Flipons are made from simple sequences repeated a number of times. The repeats vary in length and location between individuals
