There's an iterated solution (no link) for more than two players. Say two GAs encounter the same resource (or if some is left after they've begun consuming)-- i.e., encounter each other, a strict survival-of- fittest can arise among a population, even leading to specialization and organ. I'm not sure if time factors in however, i.e. whether GAs are useful in spacetime; bacteria Firmicute produce spores to guard during stress. What do ideal structures have in common with real ones?; and if so, does you-split-i-pick yield anything useful in ideality? What are ideal bacteria, what do they want, and are they interesting? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
