Abstract
In this chapter we will investigate structural and semantic distance metrics for linear genetic programs. A causal connection between changes of genotypes and of phenotypes form a necessary condition for being able to control differences between genetic programs. The two objectives of this chapter are to show [1] how distance information between individuals can be used to control structural diversity of individuals and [2] how variation distance on effective code can be controlled probabilistically with different linear genetic operators.
