Abstract
In this paper, we follow the model of Chen and Chie
(2004), but start with the primeval setup. The
implementation of computer simulations show mutation
did play an important role in the technology evolution.
In a well define simulation world, the producer will
exert all of his effort to make the life get better.
The parameter of mutation rate is just like the
frequency of innovation in the real world. Different
mutation rate will shift the model to the different
path of history. The path of real world might be
represented by one of the mutation rate, but it must be
emergent from the different behaviours of the bottom
actors.
