abstract = "This chapter describes the notion of Run Transferable
Libraries(RTLs), libraries of functions which evolve
from run to run. RTLs have much in common with standard
programming libraries as they provide a suite of
functions that can not only be used across several runs
on a particular problem, but also to aid in the scaling
of a system to more difficult instances of a problem.
This is achieved by training a library on a relatively
simple instance of a problem before applying it to the
more difficult one.
The chapter examines the dynamics of the library internals, and how functions compete for dominance of the library. We demonstrate that the libraries tend to converge on a small number of functions, and identify methods to test how well a library is likely to be able to scale.",
