# scrap is not scrap
|
|
|
|
The scrap-is-not-scrap (sins) experiment began out of a public school education in biology and dissatisfaction with genetic algorithms with their ability to do work.

## what biology? all i see is bad code.
|
|
|
|
Biology is a great example of a tremendous waste of time and thus this is inspiring.
|
|
There isn't really anything else here except pseudoscience with regard to decent with modification.
|
|
Computers are generally deterministic except in specific circumstances which makes producing new functionality in code the programmer's responsibility.
|
|
The field of artificial intelligence attempts to reproduce human intelligence through deterministic computing and has come a long way in recent years.
|
|
Artificial intelligence still has predictable results--we have a few tests for human intelligence, the most common being the [Turing test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test).
|

|
|
## intelligence is a bad thing now?
|
|
|
|
Yes, Siri.
|
|
|
|
## what does this all have to do with scrap not being scrap?
|
|
|
|
I have a habit of calling new projects "scrap" until I can think of a better name for them.
|
|
I like to think that scrap is no longer scrap but you get to decided that one for yourself.
|
|
I also originally named components after biblical figures but decided that was a sin against Father Darwin.
