This work led to awesome camouflage, but I do believe that the power of this approach comes from the coevolutionary/adversairal dynamics. With a visual attention system + genetic programming of prey patterns, we consistently achieved camouflage patterns. blogs.biomedcentral.com/bmcseriesblo...

Of course it is critical to note, that the idea of using GP for prey pattern generation was started by @craigreynolds.bsky.social a few years earlier. However, the expectation in 2014 was that coevolution would lead to mediocre stable states in predator-prey games, and we disproved that by example.
