An Essay Concerning Human Understanding of Genetic
Programming
L. Spector. Genetic Programming Theory and Practice, chapter 2, Kluwer, (2003)
Abstract
This chapter presents a personal perspective on the
relation between theory and practice in genetic
programming. It posits that genetic programming
practise (including both applications and technique
enhancements) is moving toward biology and that it
should continue to do so. It suggests as a consequence
that future-oriented genetic programming theory
(mathematical theory, developed to help analyse,
understand, and predict system behaviour) should also
borrow, increasingly, from biology. It presents
specific challenges for theory vis-a-vis recent
technique a enhancements, and briefly discusses
possibilities for new forms of theory that will be
relevant to the leading edge of genetic programming
practice.
