The paper studies the role of neutrality in the fitness landscapes associated with the evolutionary design of digital circuits
and particularly the three-bit binary multiplier. For the purpose of the study, digital circuits are evolved extrinsically
on an array of logic cells. To evolve on an array of cells, a genotype-phenotype mapping has been devised by which neutrality
can be embedded in the resulting fitness landscape. It is argued that landscape neutrality is beneficial for digital circuit
evolution.
