As a model of microevolution GA can be somewhat useful. But as an explanation for all of evolution it's quite clearly not GA+time. In real life, constraints different from natural selection also direct evolution and at each generation, the operators and output possibilities change. That is, the GA output evolves.

In some good AL programs, this is what happens. However, they still stay within the bounds of A<=B (I assume you know what I mean by this if you've read my previous posts). If you want to convince me, you need to show me what the different function is, or how it acts, at least (the burden of proof is on you).

My point is that B grows. And GA's are modeled after evolution theory, not the other way around. We know enough about evolution to understand that natural selection is icing on the cake. Developmental and structural constraints play a far larger role in what evolves. As of yet, those constraints are far too complex to model.

If you want to convince me...

Not really. I try to impart some of my understanding. Take it or leave it.
