1. A computer-implemented process for solving a problem comprising the computer-implemented steps of:

  • creating a population of programmatic entities;

    generating a solution to the problem, wherein the step of generating the solution comprises the computer-implemented steps of;

    selecting at least one entity from a population of programmatic entities using selection criteria that is based on fitness;

    choosing an operation that creates a new entity;

    if the chosen operation is an architecture altering operation, then performing the architecture altering operation to alter the architecture of said at least one entity of the population of programmatic entities;

    adding said new entity created by the chosen operation to the population.
