RECOMMENDED:
Prof. Robert Sapolsky on Emergence and Complexity explains mathmatics in the context of biological phenomena: how simple mechanisms can create complexity.
John Frazier’s Evolutionary Architecture
Physical computing: interaction creates electronic connections between modules > Skylar Tibbett’s project to embed intelligence
Concept of creating many unexpected variations
Genetic algorithms create rules for creating the next generation and then making a selection of survivors. (Natural articulated rules vs. Artificial selection through intuition).
Convergent vs. Divergent solutions
The Development system reads the environment and the genes to create results which provides feedback to both. The Genetic algorithm determines how the child variants are created from the parents and how results are sorted.
It has to be a consistent system generating reliable results
