Create a Genomic Template

[hopeseekr]

The Problem

In more complex GAs, with multiple populations of different species (e.g., Suspect vs Interrogator vs PrisonSentence), it seems that there is a LOT of duplicated code related to the basic Genomic Template.

The Solution

Create a template to abstract out a lot of this code. Specifically, it needs to have the purpose of Managing Genomic data:

• Is a valid mutation viable? [true/false]
• Mechanism to INSERT mutations, viable or inviable, into the Genome
• Mechanism to EXPRESS genes of the genome.
• Mechanism to CLONE the genome [override __clone()]
• Mechanism to EXPOSE the genes of the genome (primarily for REPLICATION but also for cross-population storage [e.g., Morphic Fields]).
