  abstract =     "Fitness distributions (landscapes) of programs tend to
                 a limit as they get bigger. Markov minorization gives
                 upper bounds ((15.3 + 2.30 m)/log(I)) on the length of
                 program run on random or average computing devices. I
                 is the size of the instruction set and m size of output
                 register. Almost all programs are constants.
                 Convergence is exponential with 90% of programs of
                 length 1.6 n 2**N yielding constants (n=size input
                 register and size of memory=N). This is supported by
                 experiment.",
