    Bio-Inspired Palette Evolution in Indirectly Encoded Substrates: Timescale Compatibility Shapes Activation Function Discovery

    Indirectly encoded neural networks can assign different activation functions to individual nodes, but the right functions are rarely known in advance. When the available set contains only standard monotonic functions, problems like parity become unsolvable, yet an all-inclusive palette underperforms a curated one. How should evolution discover which functions to use? We address this as a meta-learning problem, designing 13 strategies (11...
