Mike's Notes
Stephen Wolfram on why biological evolution works. There is a 147-minute video and two articles. The video is below. A good introduction to evolutionary algorithms, which Pipi 9 uses. A lot of detail in the second article on examples of storing "genetic information" in adaptive evolution of machine learning.
See also the similarities and differences between evolutionary algorithms and the backpropagation algorithm.

Why Does Biological Evolution Work? A Minimal Model for Biological Evolution and Other Adaptive Processes
Stephen Wolfram is the creator of Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha and the Wolfram Language; the author of A New Kind of Science; the originator of the Wolfram Physics Project; and the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research. Over the course of more than four decades, he has been a pioneer in the development and application of computational thinking—and has been responsible for many discoveries, inventions and innovations in science, technology and business.
