Re:

i understand, .. Here is my problem, the fittest algorithm is the shortest and most efficient. however and this is important , it is also the most vulnerable for attack. So though it is the most elegant , it is virtually defenseless.. IT is the individual. however as part of a group , or representive of its species , it now has a lower fitness than its protected counterpart. ,maybe beauty needs mystery, so that the algorithm should be always somewhat flexilby concealed. like the genetalia of harem women
