Evolutionary Process Algorithm

All algorithms

The steps

  1. Identify the variation in the population.
  2. Identify the selection pressure. What environmental conditions filter survival?
  3. Per Convergent Evolution: identical inputs + environment produce identical outputs across substrates. Identify whether the convergent solution exists in the population.
  4. Per Punctuated Equilibrium: long stability is interrupted by rapid change. Identify which phase the population is in.
  5. Apply Yin/Yang. Variation (Yang) and Selection (Yin) must balance. Excess variation produces chaos. Excess selection produces stasis.
  6. Per the Capsule mechanism: every extinct lineage contributed information to surviving lineages. Genome reflects all prior failures.
  7. Per Process Density: complexity emerges at threshold density of integrated operations. Below threshold: organism does not adapt. Above threshold: organism rigidifies.
  8. Document. Per Database step.
