'Using the NEAT Algorithm, will a child of two genomes always have the same structure as the most fit parent?
I'm trying to implement the NEAT Algorithm using c#, based off of Kenneth O. Stanley's paper. On page 109 (12 in the pdf) it states "Matching genes are inherited randomly, whereas disjoint genes (those that do not match in the middle) and excess
genes (those that do not match in the end) are inherited from the more fit parent."
Does this mean that the child will always have the exact structure that the more fit parent has? It seems like the only way the structure could differ from crossover was if the two parents were equally fit.
