The atlas brings together 2,598 organism forms from 576 runs across 9 experiments. Its goal is to show which forms recur across different runs and how the dominant form changes over time.
Each dot represents a single form. Its height on the map corresponds to the atlas's fitness (a metric based on form structure). Horizontal distance is used only for layout. Larger dots indicate forms that appear in more runs. Arrows indicate changes in the dominant form between successive stored checkpoints within a single run or island, but parent-child relationships require separate evidence.
The atlas groups forms by graph structure, including disconnected components. Organisms with the same form can have different vertex numbers and states. The default drawing shows one observed example. Each source record shows its own saved states and scores.
Saved checkpoints sample a run. A form can persist or change between checkpoints. The atlas counts one appearance per form, run, island and generation, even when several sources identify it. It tracks champion, archive and historical record roles separately. A visit begins after a different observed form or a gap in the history.
Each arrow’s percentage uses the observed departures from its source form. P(B | departure from A) = count(A → B) / Σ count(A → C), C ≠ A. Repeated departures can come from the same experimental unit. The four q6.35 restarts belong to one declared unit with four separate histories.
The equalized scale combines 30% normalized raw fitness and 70% normalized mean rank across forms. Equal scores share a height. Filters keep this scale fixed. Axis labels, thresholds and exports use raw fitness.
