Fine, and I fully support the deconstruction of theory prior to using it! In what way does Genetic Programming not provide an efficient cause? Because you need to look beyond the physical plane of existence into the spiritual to see that the soul is the real administrator of the life's path. Genetics is simply the hardware. Genetics is not actually causal and nothing physical can ever be causal. See The Kybalion, Principles of Hermes. Having a stochastic aspect, and the possibility to define new instructions, it seems to me to provide an escape from anything a human might have intended. This learning algorithm could escape the constraints of being a `tool' by being used in a robot with similar senses as ours and interacting with the conditions of the `real' world.
