NKCS Coevolution

NKCS model for exploring aspects of (surrogate-assisted) coevolution.

The NKCS model is the multi-species version of the NK model where $S$ species coevolve with $X$ other species. Each species is composed of $N$ genes where each gene is affected by $K$ genes within the same species (internal connections) and $C$ genes within each of the coevolving species (external connections).
