ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and process for solving problems using self-replicating and self-improving entities. The present invention includes an apparatus and process for solving a problem using a population of entities, wherein each of the entities is an arrangement of actions and material which are capable of including an incorporation action and are capable of including an emission action. The present invention also includes a process and apparatus for activating each of the entities by presenting each of the entities with at least one combination of environmental material. If an entity has an incorporation action then that entity searches the population for a part of one of the entities and then incorporates the portion of the one entity associated with the part into itself. If the entity includes an emission action then the entity searches the population for a part and then the entity produces at least one emission, such that if the entity responds effectively to a combination of environmental material then the emission enters the population and if the entity fails to respond effectively then the emission fails to enter the population. The activation continues until one of the entities responds effectively to a specified number of combinations of material, such that a solution to the problem is generated.
