A System for Growing Graphs with Applications to Reservoir Computing

A system to grow directed graphs, which combines elements of RBNs, Cellular Automata and L-Systems with graph transformation techniques. Salient features are: variable degree nodes with fixed arity functions; real-valued matrix-based encoding of state transition rules; potential for natural halting of growth. It is hoped that this can be used in an evo-devo system to create effective networks for use in reservoir computing.
