| Quote | In artificial intelligence, an evolutionary algorithm (EA) is a subset of evolutionary computation, a generic population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithm. An EA uses mechanisms inspired by biological evolution, such as reproduction, mutation, recombination, and selection. Candidate solutions to the optimization problem play the role of individuals in a population, and the fitness function determines the quality of the solutions (see also loss function). Evolution of the population then takes place after the repeated application of the above operators. Artificial evolution (AE) describes a process involving individual evolutionary algorithms; EAs are individual components that participate in an AE[citation needed].

Wow what a mess! |
The fact that you use Wikipedia as a primary source and misunderstand most of what you read there is not a good recommendation for your accomplishments in science. Most Wikipedia articles are written for a lay audience, and the assumption is that a person of average intellectual acuity will be able to obtain a basic understanding of the subject matter. Average intellectual acuity is an unreachable goal for you, as you continue to gleefully demonstrate. |
Science teachers who use Wikipedia expect to obtain a basic understanding of the subject matter, not misinformation.
--------------
The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
