So what does the algorithm do when you run it?
Prints out "these species' values do not cohere"? Or perhaps "both species coherent-extrapolatedly appreciate pretty sunsets, therefore maximize prettiness of sunsets, but don't do anything that impacts on the space-Jews survival one way or another, or the space-Nazis survival either if that connects negatively to the former?"
Return a "divide by zero"-type error, or send your Turing machine up in smoke trying.
