Hmmm? That circuit did not actually produce what was required-

In essence, the evolving circuit had cheated, relaying oscillations generated elsewhere, rather than generating its own.
I'm sure you can call this nitpicking, but using 10 transistors and switches to make an oscillator is not that hard. And after "several thousand generations" the best they could come up with was a radio, producing oscillations from radio waves using a long track in the circuit as a receiver rather than producing them from from the transistors. But it is quite interesting anyway
I've played around with electronic circuits long enough to know that often, if a speaker is involved, you can hear AM radio on it. An appliance nearby, you hear noise.
