Evolve

Name	Mandatory	Description	Default	Type
⬅️ Input		The input of this shard is ignored.		Any
Output ➡️		This shard outputs a [Type::Float Type::Wire] pair. This pair represents the wire configuration from the current generation that scored the best fitness score and the fitness score itself.		[Float Wire]
Wire	No	The wire to optimize and evolve.	none	Wire
Fitness	No	The fitness wire to run at the end of the main wire evaluation and using its last output; should output a Float fitness value.	none	Wire
Population	No	The population size.	64	Int
Mutation	No	The rate of mutation, 0.1 = 10%.	0.2	Float
Crossover	No	The rate of crossover, 0.1 = 10%.	0.2	Float
Extinction	No	The rate of extinction, 0.1 = 10%.	0.1	Float
Elitism	No	The rate of elitism, 0.1 = 10%.	0.1	Float
Threads	No	The number of cpu threads to use.	2	Int
Coroutines	No	The number of coroutines to run on each thread.	8	Int

This shard uses genetic algorithm to evolve and change the configuration of the wire specified in the Wire parameter. The evolved wires are given a score based on the fitness wire specified in the Fitness Wire parameter. The shard then outputs the best wire and its fitness score. This shard should be used in conjunction with the Mutant shard.
