gollark: Real-world evolution works fine with fairly discrete building blocks, though.
gollark: Did you know? There have been many incidents in the past where improper apiary safety protocols have lead to unbounded tetrational apiogenesis, also referred to as a VK-class "universal apiary" scenario. Often, the fallout from this needs to be cleaned up by moving all sentient entities into identical simulated universes, save for the incident occurring. This is known as "retroactive continuity", and modern apiaries provide this functionality automatically.
gollark: Why continuous? Continuous things bad.
gollark: So why do you think you can succeed while everyone else in the field has done mostly not useful things?
gollark: 1m³? 2m³?
