It was a long few days, but the paper is in a reasonable state and submitted. There was some pretty tired and harried editing at the end, so I’m sure we’ll see all kinds of annoying things after we’ve had some sleep and come back to it, but I still think it’s pretty good stuff.

We’re managed to cut from 21 pages down to 18, but we’re still not at the required 16. Please let us have two extra pages…please… :-)

Now we’ll have to see what the reviewers think.

Ellery and I continue to wrestle our GPTP paper into submission before tomorrow’s deadline. There’s a ton of cool data, but we’re both tired and worried about the deadline and the page limits, and I suspect it’s going to be a long 30 hours before we send this thing off.

In the meantime, however, here’s a cool graph…

This shows the shapes of a population of 1,000 trees at the end of one particular run of our system. The outer circle (sort of) represents the possible space of trees, and as one can see, the system explores a very small subset of that space.

And it makes a really spiffy picture :-). Props to Jason Daida and his colleagues for inventing this nifty visualization technique, and for sharing their Mathematica code so that we can draw these cool graphs, too.

Back to the grindstone.
