RESULTS WITHOUT SELF-MODIFICATIONS.

At system death, total payoff equaled about $7 * 10^6$. Average payoff per payoff event was about 1.4. Most of the total payoff (about $5*10^6$) could be attributed to the fact that $V_0$ was correctly re-initialized after each payoff event: the system received a little bit of payoff even in cases where it did not execute any $write$ operations. As expected, average payoff intake did not significantly increase or decrease during the lifetime of the system. However, this was not safely predictable in advance, due to the changing environment.
