Well this looks a bit out there. I've never even heard of some of this stuff.How do you evolve a G-Matrix on a Stationary Adaptive Landscape? What the hell is a Stationary Adaptive Landscape? And how many G-Spots can you evolve on a Dynamic Adaptive Landscape? And, yes, what the hell is a Dynamic Adaptive Landscape?I see glimmers. Kinda Max Tegmark. The reality of reality is in the math. I do like having G-Spots together with evolution. They do go together.I got a bit of reading to do. Thank you, Tany.
