Abstract:
In a system having at least one entity, wherein each entity comprises at least one constructing action, a system-implemented iterative process for creating a design of a structure that satisfies prespecified design goals, the iterative process comprising the iteration of a series of steps which comprises:executing at least one constructing action in the at least one entity to develop a structure comprising a plurality of components, the execution of the at least one constructing actions determining both the topological connections between components of the structure and the physical location of each of the components of the structure, ascertaining the degree to which the structure satisfies the prespecified design goals, selecting from among the at least one entity, wherein an entity that satisfies the prespecified design goals to a greater degree than another entity is preferred, creating at least one candidate entity by applying an operation to modify at least one of the selected entities.
