Hi, Aaron, I don't really know anything about genetic programming algorithms since I've never done that kind of work.
But I guess there has to be a "fitness" criteria in there somewhere that determines whether the offspring live to reproduce or die. That fitness criteria clearly needs to be based on whether people can read the letters or not. So maybe some kind of voting system? More highly-ranked ones have more chances to "mate" and produce offspring, less highly-ranked ones die sooner with fewer offspring. Something like that ...
