Article in Wired on an emerging software that combines hunches with mutations to take anything, from photo manipulation to postman route planning in new directions that have a individual touch.
"Our hunches tend to be repetitive and predictable, while mutation can take us in novel directions"
The parallels with new EC programmes are obvious. Keep the human involvement, but bring in other forces to encourage new mutations and prevent stagnation.
Keep it local, emergent, intelligent.

The Wired article refers to the process it describes as "guided natural selection." Hmmm...
