Re: Hooks, Trap doors, and Catapults
Some GAs model biological evolution, some don't. All show the power of random variation with selection to solve a problem. Hell, even iterated local search (ILS) - which is what I use to solve some of the problems I face in my job - demonstrates the power of random variation with selection. But in no way does it model biological evolution.
