I've always wondered how hard it would be to code for evolution. Is there a way to create a program that can mimic the ability of DNA and life to create emergent properties out of basically thin air? Would it be feasible to create a program with the ability to make a series of let's say files that duplicate each other but with say a random chance for an evolution like event in the code and then perform a fitness test on the new files only keeping the ones that meet a certain criteria, say initialize speed or ability to execute without error?
