Subject: Run Details: 2022_04_14_Identical_Asym_Lower_Min 

This run was a short run (stopped due to resource limits) that was conducted to test the minimum length constraint that had been applied in the past. Previously, the minimum length was set to be 37.5 cm for each cone; in this run, it was lowered to 10 cm. It ran for 60 generations with 50 individuals per generation, each evaluated with 300,000 neutrinos. To compare to the paper run, this run was performed using the asymmetric algorithm, meaning each individual had 6 genes (length, inner radius, and opening angle for each cone). The initial generation began with identical individuals, with genes matching the genes of the best performing individual mentioned in the GENETIS paper.

The ratio of generative operators is as follows: 72% crossover, 22% immigration, 6% reproduction. Mutation was also used, with 1% of genes produced by crossover mutated by adding a number chosen from a Gaussian centered at 0 with a width of 5% of the gene's value.

The ratio of selection operators was: 20% roulette, 80% tournament, 0% rank, 0% elite.

Attached are the run details, violin plot, and "rainbow" plot.

####### VARIABLES: LINES TO CHECK OVER WHEN STARTING A NEW RUN ###############################################################################################
RunName='2022_04_14_Identical_Asym_Lower_Min'	## This is the name of the run. You need to make a unique name each time you run.
TotalGens=100			## number of generations (after initial) to run through
NPOP=50				## number of individuals per generation; please keep this value below 99
Seeds=10			## This is how many AraSim jobs will run for each individual## the number frequencies being iterated over in XF (Currectly only affects the output.xmacro loop)
FREQ=60				## the number frequencies being iterated over in XF (Currectly only affects the output.xmacro loop)
NNT=30000			## Number of Neutrinos Thrown in AraSim   
exp=18				## exponent of the energy for the neutrinos in AraSim
ScaleFactor=1.0			## ScaleFactor used when punishing fitness scores of antennae larger than the drilling holes
GeoFactor=1			## This is the number by which we are scaling DOWN our antennas. This is passed to many files
num_keys=4			## how many XF keys we are letting this run use
database_flag=0			## 0 if not using the database, 1 if using the database
				## These next 3 define the symmetry of the cones.
RADIUS=1			## If 1, radius is asymmetric. If 0, radius is symmetric		
LENGTH=1			## If 1, length is asymmetric. If 0, length is symmetric
ANGLE=1				## If 1, angle is asymmetric. If 0, angle is symmetric
CURVED=0			## If 1, evolve curved sides. If 0, sides are straight
A=1				## If 1, A is asymmetric
B=1				## If 1, B is asymmetric
SEPARATION=0    		## If 1, separation evolves. If 0, separation is constant
NSECTIONS=2 			## The number of chromosomes
DEBUG_MODE=0			## 1 for testing (ex: send specific seeds), 0 for real runs
				## These next variables are the values passed to the GA
REPRODUCTION=3			## Number (not fraction!) of individuals formed through reproduction
CROSSOVER=36			## Number (not fraction!) of individuals formed through crossover
MUTATION=1			## Probability of mutation (divided by 100)
SIGMA=5				## Standard deviation for the mutation operation (divided by 100)
ROULETTE=2			## Percent of individuals selected through roulette (divided by 10)
TOURNAMENT=8			## Percent of individuals selected through tournament (divided by 10)
RANK=0				## Percent of individuals selected through rank (divided by 10)
ELITE=0				## Elite function on/off (1/0)
