The Evolvor Cycle

 

Published August 26, 2000

I think that the following cycle is an abstraction that applies to many forms of systems and, when implemented, can create very powerful evolutionary dynamics. It actively evolves the underlying system, so I name it 'Evolvor cycle'.

Applied to a configuration, for example, it would set the original default for new users according to the implied preferences of the existing users. The option to signal new preferences continues the cycle and the default configuration evolves over time without any human administration.
