Note - there is a difference between investigating "what would evolution do?", as a jumping-off point for other strategies, and recommending "we should do what evolution does".

But a problem with that, is that what evolution does depends on where you look.

Why is it that if I set up a little grid-world on my computer and evolve little agents, I seem to get answers to the question "what does evolution do"? Am I encoding "where to look" into the grid-world somehow?
