anyhoo, to quote khani3s “The Bbeautiful thing in GA is that you only need to say how evaluate the best solution and done!”… even more amazing, Read about it before you dis it

Yes, but the population of living things on Earth taken together over geologic time don’t represent a thermodynamic system. Each one is a system, which is why we all get old and die; but evolution is the change over generations and that change, itself, is not thermodynamic. It has nothing to do with heat or energy.

The Bbeautiful thing in GA is that you only need to say how evaluate the best solution and done!
You don’t need to understand how to resolve the problem, only how to evaluate it.
It’s no random search.

This is. Cars that survive longest in the beginning live to procreate. Eventually once all cars are survivors the fastest cars impress the ladies. Cars with defects are thrown out so there is now way to move to less optimal points because they aren’t good enough. Every single car that comes off the line is different but they slowly move toward optimal for whatever shape proves to have the highest survival rate.
