I do not know the limitations of this specific software. What is this "Creative
design" you refer to above? I suspect it is a Darwinian process of memes slugging
it out for resources in the context of neurons and drafting paper. If we evolve a
good enough simulation of this fight for survival in electronic bit context, will
we have the "Creative design" part as well?
