The control simulations

The average body usage for the control simulation is shown in Figure 6. Notice how the overall body usage steadily decreases, this means that by epoch 450, the average agent does not use 60% of its body, though it continues to spend about half its life only using about a quarter of its brain. This could correspond to a lessening of randomness, as the agents evolve to learn the environment.
