Detailed Description

The interface to the population-specific "genetic material", the Genotype

This is one of the central concepts in Neuroevolution (and Genetic Algorithms in general). A population is a collection of geneotypes, each describing a particular configuration of genetic material. The genotype is the "recipe" for creating Brain instances (the phenotype), which are the actual functional units mapping domain inputs to output values.

Each genotype's fitness is evaluated indirectly through the phenotype (brain) counterpart: the better the brain performance, relative to a domain specific criteria, the higher the fitness value.
