This section provides configuration for the reproduction routines that are implemented by the built-in DefaultReproduction class. This section includes the following parameters:
- elitism: The number of most-fit organisms in each species, which are copied without changes to the next generation. This factor allows us to retain any beneficial mutations that were found in the previous generations.
- survival_threshold: The fraction of organisms in each species that are allowed to be parents of the next generation, that is, eligible for sexual reproduction (crossover). By adjusting this value, it is possible to define the lowest fitness score of the organism that is allowing it to participate in the reproduction process. ...
