Hmm....this is a bit like opening up an integrated circuit and trying to dissect it and figure out how it works - good luck with that!

Oh yeah, and allow the worm to complicate its own genome, thus changing its layout to add beneficial traits. Hell this would be a good way to create a genetics research project as well as long as the simulation is accurately represented. You could potentially even create an organism with a "DNA encoded computer" that would become more than just a simple human brain is capable of becoming.

OK, sounds like a plan, but you missed something. . . Let the worm evolve, No better yet, MAKE the worm evolve according to a set of physical laws and principles. Essentially all you would need to do is build a (small) world for the worm to live in, (with a reward/punishment system, i.e. life/death based on real world problems) you could even use a massively parallel network of PhysX processors all running the simulation.
