  abstract =     "The exploitation of the physical characteristics has
                 already been demonstrated in the intrinsic evolution of
                 electronic circuits. This paper is an initial attempt
                 at creating a world in which {"}physics{"} can be
                 exploited in simulation. As a starting point we
                 investigate a model of gate-like components with added
                 noise. We refer to this as a kind of messiness . The
                 principal idea behind these messy gates is that
                 artificial evolution makes a virtue of the untidiness.
                 We are ultimately trying to study the question: What
                 kind of components should we use in artificial
                 evolution? Several experiments are described that show
                 that the messy circuits have a natural robustness to
                 noise, as well as an implicit fault-tolerance. In
                 addition, it was relatively easy for evolution to
                 generate novel circuits that were surprisingly
                 efficient.",
