- Invited journal paper expanding Burgos/Polani, "An Informational Study of the Evolution of Codes in Different Population Structures", Proc. Alife 2014, DOI: 10.7551/978-0-262-32621-6-ch056, which won best student paper award. First information-theoretic study of communication when sender and receiver do not initially share code. First purely informational model for evolution of codes in agent populations according to Woese/Goldenfeld hypothesis, leading to emergence of "dialects" or universal codes, depending on setup. Subsequent work (Burgos' PhD) used it to model parasitic communicators. Potential for purely informational approach modelling emergence of specialized or competing counterparts of communicating agents, such as receptors, immune systems, symbionts.
