Hi John,

Can I use the Kohonen Map component WITHOUT losing diversity?

I'm trying to organize a multi-dimensional phase space of a stadium design and create a fitness landscape in which similar variations are more or less close to one another. I tried with 3 parameters and the results looked promising:

However, when I did a test with 4 parameters, it seemed like higher values on one parameter automatically lead to higher values on another:

It looks like a lot of variation is missing, although I remapped the values to the domains I wanted for my inputs:

Is what I want to do even possible? And is the SOM component the way to go? Would be great to get some advice!

Cheers,

Max
