Pure Chance Genetics

Having the set $ \cal{G}$ $ ^{\emptyset}$ as assumed to be different from the 'goal' set $ \cal{G}$$ ^{*}$ one has to organize the function $ \gamma$ as a sequence of substitutions where every substitution should be done by 'pure chance'.

Here we have to distinguish two cases:

  1. Pure chance with no inheritance
  2. Pure chance with inheritance

Even if there is no fitness feedback through $ \Sigma^{*}$ true genetic systems are not completely at random because of inheritance. Inheritance functions like a kind of a 'memory' holding back the information of the last generation and allowing either only combinations of given genomes (crossover) or allowing limited local changes (mutation) for the next generation of offspring.
