I'm not sure what you are getting at here... Is modification system implemented in a module (Ai)? If so how would evaluate whether a modification Ai, call it AI' did a better job? What I am trying to figure out is whether the system you are describing could change to one which modules A1 to A10 were modified twice as often as the other modules? Can it change itself so it could remove a module altogether, or duplicate a module and specialise each of the modules to a different purpose?
