Huh? Lobsters have been exploring their own fitness landscape for quite some time and haven't transcended yet. Evolution doesn't inevitably lead towards intelligence.
I was way too obscure. I meant: turn it into a Godel machine by modifying the lobster program to explore and evaluate the space of altered lobster programs.
Why do you need a lobster for that? You could start today with any old piece of open source code and any measure of "fitness" you like. People have tried to do this for awhile without much success.
