  • Have you considered recursion? Commented Mar 18, 2017 at 0:08
  • Can you elaborate? Do you mean a recursive version of #1, something like UpdateList(x:xs)=Update(x):UpdateList(xs)? Commented Mar 18, 2017 at 0:41
  • That is what I meant, yes. Commented Mar 18, 2017 at 0:57
  • Would a List really be a good topographical space for your artificial environment? Your organisms will live in a one-dimensional space, and will always be space. Have you considered a two-dimensional Cartesian layout instead? Commented Mar 18, 2017 at 2:14
  • Do you have a realistic example of this problem? My first instinct would be option 1 (have Update return a list and concatenate the lists), so I'm wondering when that would not be a good solution. Commented Mar 19, 2017 at 9:42
