abstract = "This response examines the context and implications of
the comments to ``On the Mapping of Genotype to
Phenotype in Evolutionary Algorithms'' that appears in
this journal. The notion of metaphor is first
considered and then the general themes of the
commentaries addressed. The response subsequently
focuses on representation and operators, noting that
many of the comments support our basic premise.
The main conclusion is that Sterelny's conditions do form a suitable basis for representation and operator design and that the collection of responses form an excellent basis for further discussion and research in evolutionary computation.",
