abstract = "Recent results in Genetic Programming suggest that subtree crossover, as traditionally used, does not usefully combine genetic information from both parents, but plays the role of macromutation instead. The following paper proposes and investigates the effects of a different type of crossover, Forth crossover, inspired by the eponymous programming language. Using the mechanism of Headless Chicken Crossover in a series of experiments, it is argued that Forth crossover is strictly different from, and in the experiments performed, better than both subtree crossover and macromutation.",
