I gave an example of how intelligent living things mutually “select” that the GA oversimplifications of biology and physics do not include.

And yet it had jack squat to do with evolution.  Which is what selection, in this context, means.  Your obsession with intelligence is blinding you, Gary.  We talk about natural selection and the only thing that you can think of is "intelligent things sometimes make choices and select things".

I also clearly enough explained that the ID based model can in fact replicate. Doing it right is currently scientifically and perhaps also technologically impossible.


So your model is NOT in fact "beyond" Avida, it merely could be one day.  If it's scientifically impossible to take generations into account at this point then it's scientifically impossible for your model to be applicable to evolution though.

This is the ground work for models that will likely take decades of time to achieve, but at least they don't leave intelligence out of the equation.


Again.. it doesn't leave intelligence out, but it leaves every other aspect of evolution out.  Some day, you tell us, you might be able to start adding something that has something to do with evolution in.  Some day it might be scientifically possible to make it have anything to do with evolution.

But it's on the cutting edge, man.
