SIMPLISTIC. "The ‘Hello World’ program analogy is inadequate for the task of modeling naturalistic evolutionary theory, it is way too simplistic." https://lnkd.in/dZqxxrU View in LinkedIn
PLANETARY EVIDENCE. "What is the chance of producing, by random mutation and natural selection, the digital computer program that is the DNA molecule, not to mention the protein synthesis machinery and information-processing mechanism, all of which is mutually interdependent for function and survival?" https://lnkd.in/dZqxxrU View in LinkedIn
CONTRARIAN. "Writing Computer Programs by Random Mutation and Natural Selection. What is the probability of arriving at our Hello World program by random mutation and natural selection? The unfathomable probabilistic hurdles that must be overcome to produce the simplest of all computer programs by Darwinian mechanisms." https://lnkd.in/dZqxxrU View in LinkedIn
VIRAL MUTATION. "There are plentiful opportunities for data corruption in the modern computing environment. Faults in hardware or on storage media itself can lead to new bit patterns, and hence new instructions, in programs. Faulty software can overwrite either code or result in the creation of stray pieces of orphan code." (Page 50). https://lnkd.in/etkXtU6 View in LinkedIn
AUTONOMOUS CODE. "I’ve been really into code mutation and getting computers to write their own code, well at least that’s the goal anyway. What really interests me is if you can give a computer a really small amount of code but yet get it to construct something itself." https://lnkd.in/e2GhRte View in LinkedIn
ARTIFICIAL SELECTION. "He is not trying to model real-world natural selection. He is investigating the feasibility of evolving machine language software by random mutation and artificial selection. https://lnkd.in/dZqxxrU View in LinkedIn
CO-EVOLUTION. "It is not difficult to imagine the development of an advanced computer virus, more like a real biological virus, that is capable of evolving defenses against the latest virus detection software." https://lnkd.in/da2m8CW View in LinkedIn
EVOLUTION AND CODE. "Can Computers Mimic Darwinian Evolution? Darwinism holds that new genes can evolve blindly out of old genes by gene duplication, mutation and recombination under the pressure of natural selection." https://lnkd.in/dH9XaVn View in LinkedIn
COMPUTER HOST-VIRUS ARMS RACE, identical to biological viruses and their hosts. "In order to stay far from the anti-virus scanners, computer viruses gradually improve their codes to make them invisible. On the other hand, anti-virus technologies continually follow the virus tricks and methodologies to overcome their threats." https://lnkd.in/e2ErnC6 View in LinkedIn
FLORAL RESPONSES DOWNSTREAM OF THE CLOCK. "Two types of photoreceptors have a role in the latter: (i) phytochromes, which have maximum sensitivity in the red and far-red parts of the spectrum; and (ii) cryptochromes, the blue light photoreceptors." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn
