The method includes associating with the devices terminal (21, 22,23; 71, 72) a first sequence of characters (121, 122, 123; 171,172), associating with the other terminal (21,22,23; 71,72, 61) a second sequence of characters (121, 122, 123; 171,172; 162), mapping at least part ofthe first sequence of characters (121, 122, 123; 171, 172) and at least part of the second sequence of characters (121, 122, 123; 171, 172; 161) to the value of interaction strength in order to determine the value of interaction strength.Evolutionary ComputationGenetic RepresentationAnalog Genetic EncodingAGEAnalog Circuit SynthesisAnalog Network SynthesisGenetic RepresentationNeural Network SynthesisAGEAnalog Genetic EncodingNeuroevolutionNeuromodulationReinforcement LearningImplicit EncodingImplicit Genetic EncodingEvolutionary RoboticspatentUS2007011111US737001937619371
