Towards an automated biological programming tool

1. Genes encode units of computation and specify how they can be combined with other genes to produce more complex structures. 2. Genes are stored in a gene pool categorized by type and given a unique ID. Organisms are arrangements of specific genes according to the proof associated with their species. 3. Genotypes in the ecosystem are evaluated and assigned a fitness score based on how well they solve a particular problem. The best genes tend to be carried by more fit organisms.
