Steve,

With respect, you ain’t reading. I also covered this. A GA/ evo. algo is “a 
mashup of an old tune”. It doesn’t really do anything new.

Mike,

Are you talking about a genetic algorithm (GA)?

  My first thoughts are that the Tintner Machine (or TM2) is basically a *dice* 
machine (/computer/robot) – with the dice deciding which option to take, when 
confronted with multiple, equally attractive but uncertain options.

  But note that it will be a sophisticated multiple dice machine – because yes, 
Steve, I realise you can have a dice algorithm. The new TM will roll at least 
two and possibly many dice. A second dice will decide whether to accept the 
decision of the first dice OR to throw the first dice again OR to try and 
find/create a new dice with more, new options, via more 
thought/research/experiment.  So  the process has the potential to go on 
forever.

  (Note that this accords with what we visibly do in some decisions  -  “Heads 
I call her, tails I don.t”  Tails.  “OK let’s make that two out of three 
throws...”  Two tails. “Ok let’s go for three out of five OR maybe I look for 
another way of deciding (and dealing with the problem) altogether”)
