Than the cloud that distills a mirror to reflect its own slow
Effacement at the wind’s hand.All night your moth-breath
Flickers among the flat pink roses. I wake to listen:
A far sea moves in my ear. (SYLVIA PLATH, Morning Song)

Theory: Genetic Evolution & Genetic Algorithms

Algorithms originating in a metaphor to natural selection. Evolutionary algorithms operate by considering a population of possible solutions, and iteratively selecting and testing variations on the most successful ones. A genetic algorithm may, in even more direct metaphor create new candidates from pairs of previous candidates.
