I never directly assign credit, apart from the first stage. The rest of the credit assignment is handled by the vmprograms, er, programming. > Particularly, could a program specialize in this, so that it > doesn't do anything useful directly but always through making highly > useful children? As the parent controls the code of its offspring, it could embed code in its offspring to pass a small portion of the credit they get back to it. They would have to be careful how much to skim off so the offspring could still thrive.
