That does not depend on how old the page is, but on what is on it and how much it appears to be connected to your opinion. > And i agree that humans should not be a part of > modern globulation 2.

Sounds reasonable, though as far as I know there are other animals that prefer special areas for eating and for training several procedures. But that should not stop you from seeing globs as human-like creatures. > So I made > my background to explain why globules have some relation to humans.

If we want our world to be connected to globulation 2 this seems to be a good way to do it. One reason for me to oppose that connection is the strange geometry of the world of globulation 2. Each map is a topological torus. And walking diagonal is as fast as up or down - though the visual distance is about 1.4 time as long. (sorry, I am mathematician) I don't think this geometry could start a story that ordinary people enjoy. I therefore favor to say that this world simply has other natural laws than ours and ignore this topic. And this works with every story-specific difficulty that might come up. But only if we do not connect globs to our world. > Anyway, I'm very interested to know how GA could be applied to > globulation 2, being a key AI programmer myself. There had been someone a year ago who wanted to solve the ordinary tasks of the globules by GA. That is finding a resource and bring it to its destination and so on. I cannot say who that was or if that is reasonable. I touched GA just very briefly. But I definitively want to get further into it. It seems like I will be working mainly on evolution in the years to come. And as someone who enjoys working between disciplines I am sure that I will spend quite some time on GA. I'll keep in mind that you are interested in an GA approach to glob2.
