Method and apparatus for genetic, fuzzy design

Abstract

An apparatus including a genetic processor receiving a plurality of genomes, each genome of the first plurality of genomes including at least one of a device, a method, and an article of manufacture, wherein each genome comprises at least one gene, each gene comprising at least one allele; and a fuzzy logic scorer communicating with the genetic processor to score the plurality of genomes using fuzzy logic-based fitness criteria thereby obtaining a genomic score for each genome of the plurality of genomes and an average generational score. The genetic processor eliminates any genome of the plurality of genomes that has a score below a level to provide a remaining plurality of genomes and generates another plurality of genomes by mating the remaining plurality of genomes using a genetic algorithm. Optionally, the apparatus further includes a mutation generator communicating with the genetic processor and at least one of eliminating the gene in the remaining plurality of genomes; introducing at least one of a new gene and a new allele to characterize each genome of the remaining plurality of genomes; and wherein the at least one gene comprises at least one of an active gene and an inactive gene one of inactivating the active gene and activating the inactive gene of the at least one gene in at least one mutated genome of the remaining plurality of genomes.
