Andy and Adrie

Cool machine. I'd say the oracle is Quality. I've thought about doing 
something similar, and one has to have some means of weighing the value 
of mutations. And that's what the oracle is for. It was also used to 
avoid infinite mutations, but that's not necessary in real life because 
that would mean an organism that never stopped growing, and that would 
just kill it.

However, it would be neat to make a similar system but with a limited 
amount of resources to build stuff from. That would provide a sort of 
implicit fitness and might not need an oracle at all.


In the conclusion, they wrote:

"The issue of balance between the power of the organisms and the power
of the mutations is an important one."

Or in MoQese, the balance of SQ vs. DQ.
