But they aren't optimization processes. It doesn't matter if they could implement one, they don't. You might as well point to any X86 chip and ask why it doesn't RSI.
I'm not talking about any specific Gene Network, I'm talking about the number and variety of gene networks that have been explored through out evolutionary history. Do you know that they all aren't optimisation processes? That they haven't popped up at least once?
To my mind it is asking why a very very large number of simple x86 systems (not just chips, they have storage) each with a different program that you don't know the details of hasn't RSId. Which I don't think is unreasonable.
How many distinct bacterial genomes do you think there has been since the beginning of life? Considering people estimate 10 million+ bacterial species alive today.
Some people have talked about the possibility of brute forcing AGI through evolutionary means, I'm simply looking at a previous evolutionary search through computational system space to get some clues.
A gene network optimizes the use of resources to make more copies of that gene network. It sense the environment, and its own operations, and adjusts what it is doing in response. I think it is an optimization process.
