ACM Comm 2016 11 Sex as an Algorithm (Notes) (The Red-Blue Tree Theorem)
The Red-Blue Three Theorem is an unpublished work that describes the sexual / asexual species ratio using simple branching rules.
- The tree is \(n\)-ary with only red or blue nodes.
- Each level is a generation.
- Red nodes are sexual species.
- Blue nodes are asexual species.
In this example sexual / asexual ratio grows to 2000:1 in about 50 generations. As in all tree algorithms the branching rules are everything. Now to figure out what Evolution's branching rules regarding the sexual / asexual is.
