I think genetic programming is probably most interesting if you don't
write a mere battery of black-box tests for the fitness evaluation.
It would be much cooler to have code that reasons about the candidat
solutions, and see how much of each is proovably correct, IMHO. =)

critters to learn from the mistakes of others, and then over time
I'd say the biggest problem is more in the selection than generation /
mutation. In the world, it's easy to determine the winner - he passes on
more of his genes. But if we've got two potential solutions, neither of
which actually pass the test, how do we select which to continue mutating,
