- abstract = "A new paradigm for Genetic Programming (GP) is proposed. In the new paradigm the genetic representation is separated from the tree structure of the program with a layer of abstraction, and it is argued that this will allow more efficient evolution of large programs. A GP system which can evolve Turing-complete programs has been developed and is presented. Emphasis is placed on the evolution of real-time functional programs which handle input and output using lazy streams. http://docs.dcs.napier.ac.uk/DOCS/GET/holmes95a/document.html",

Initial population seeded by individual written by user
in Odin and compiled to Runes.
Functional language, naturally recursive. Domiance bits used to arbitrate order iff conflict between which function to apply. Destructive translocation of genes (desctructive as fixed length) 8byte code interpretted by G-Machine (Antoni Diller) cf Peyton Jones. Standard GA (D-Genesis) crossover and mutation (does it respect opcodes and their boundaries?)
