The numerical values of the forward motion, 4 steps, and the random turns, +/- 30 degrees, were determined by trial and error. In addition, by simulating multiple c-elegans with different sets of parameters, one could compare their performance, and in a process analogous to evolution by natural selection, select those that outperformed their competitors.
