(a) Predefined states of links for the network in Figure 1(b). This field size is set as 2 here for the sake of simplicity. For all, :
268152.fig.0011b
(b) A coding scheme and the resulted information flow (signal on this link/this link is the ith link in the network/state of this link (i.e., relative information flow on this link)/this link is the ith incoming link of the next node)
268152.fig.0011c
(c) The associated chromosome (in this illustration, the ith gene in the chromosome, i.e., , means the signal on the ith link of the network comes from the kth incoming link of the previous node; if the previous node has less than k incoming links, then means the ith link is a coding link)
