Fraction SGC-like codes versus probability of random assignments. A total of 10,000 (or 20,000 for greatest Prand) environments were evolved to 300 passages. Among substantially complete codes (≥20 assigned functions), fractions with different levels of misassignment were counted. mis0 = no misassignments relative to the SGC/mis1 = 1 misassignment, and so on. Pmut = 0.00975, Pdecay = 0.00975, Pinit = 0.150, Pfus = 0.00200, Ptab1 = 0.08.
