Comment:

poor implementation (but consider the time...); good theoretical ideas:
+there must be embryology of some kind (however simple)
+one-to-one genotype-phenotype mapping bad, as no [little] architectorial bias (/restrictions) toward *good* phenotypes and thus waiting till "kingdom-come"
+recursivity: is a must and similar to natural processes
(first segmented animal was probably not very successful but had high evolutionary potential as can be seen from its descendants)
+"tendency to speciate" (~evolutionary potential) might be a higher level evo property, as species speciate not individuals
