Accumulated-History Replicator SelectionOptimization: Algorithm Design, TheoreticalGrounding, and Experimental Analysis (MycelialNetwork Optimization)
This paper introduces the Accumulated-History Replicator Selection (AHRS) framework and its Mycelial Network Optimization (MNO) algorithm, which leverage exponentially weighted historical fitness data to outperform standard population-based optimizers on complex, non-separable landscapes while being theoretically grounded in evolutionary game theory and Fisher's Fundamental Theorem.
