1. A method for adaptively solving a sequential problem in a target system comprising the steps of:

  • producing a population of chromosomes of varied length where each chromosome is formed of a plurality of actions each of said actions representing a stimulus applicable to said target system;

    applying said population of chromosomes to said target system;

    measuring characteristics of said target system, responsive to application of each of said chromosomes, and said characteristics being definitive of a state of said target systems;

    determining, responsive to measurement of said characteristics, a fitness rating for each of said chromosomes comprising said population of chromosomes;

    removing said chromosomes having the lowest fitness rating to a noisy archive; and

    evolving said population of chromosomes to produce a child chromosome wherein said child chromosome is a solution to said sequential problem.
