  abstract = "The mutation networks observed in biological systems have the properties of small-world networks. These properties of short average path length and high transitivity confer a favourable exploration of mutation space. Any evolvable string-based ALife system (for example stringmol, typogenetics, Tierra, or Avida) uses a substitution network either implicitly or explicitly. Current ALife simulations use either regular or random mutations schemes. We have previously discussed the requirement for small-world substitution networks for ALife simulations. In this paper, we explore the effects of rewiring the stringmol mutation lattice on the evolution of a self-replicating molecule.",
