Read a book on this stuff. Wolfram shows you can enumerate every program in many simple systems and still get non-trivial results above a certain (and suprisingly low) threshold of complexity. Programs also tend to behave similarly. In other words, the popular notion of just bashing random locations in a complex program most likely resulting in garbage results is wrong. But, as these people show, evolution as the only input to how natural programs are organized is also probably wrong.

But, as these people show, evolution as the only input to how natural programs are organized is also probably wrong.

So what is supposedly this other input? Also can you give some examples of these simple systems that give supposedly complex results?
