Forking and a pinch of Intelligent Design
« Blind Watchmaker Birth | Main | Spherical Physics and Rewrite of Fabric class » Posted by at 3:26 PM in Code
In this podcast I get on to the next step in the blind watchmaker development, assuming the first three steps described in the last podcast are meeting no resistance.
Sensory observations are to be communicated back to the genome interpreter in the form of instructions that return nuances.
We could choose among different subroutines, but in this episode I try to make a case for introducing symmetry.
Blind Watchmaker
- binary genome
- nuances
- cost
- forking
- Instruction return values
- void or null means continue normally
- return nuance means make a choice
- fork could choose different genome paths
- ... but would it be legitimate to introduce symmetry??
