Modelling Biological Systems with Competitive Coherence

Running the program depending on the Nexts. No learning has occurred after 20000 time steps (the time taken to fill, analyse, and respond to a single line in the Activity Register); the contents of the Activity Register and the HighestNow and HighestNext confirm the Next contribution (red circles). Correct responses is (total number of responses–correct responses)/total number of responses. Note that the total number of successes and failures (10627) would only equal the number of timesteps or lines (here 20000) if the program were constrained to give an output in the same line as it had received an input (rather than up to four lines later).
