10. The agent-based approach used in the current work should be distinguished from models in which technological change is considered in a complex adaptive landscape. This is the case in W. Ebeling, Karmeshu, and A. Scharnhorst, in Econophysics: an Emerging Science, edited by J. Kertész and I. Kondor (Kluwer Scientific, Dordrecht, 1999), p. 293; Adv. Complex Syst. 4, 71 (2001).

24. This election of the noise distribution is the only difference with model in Ref. [9]. The main properties of the model, among them the roughening transition, are robust under this change.
