Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
Describe a "living algorithm".

### Response:
A living algorithm is a model of a physical system that continuously learns from its environment in order to optimize its behaviors. It is an evolutionary algorithm that can adapt and self-improve in unpredictable environments. These algorithms are inspired by nature and are used to solve complex optimization tasks that are difficult for traditional algorithmic approaches.
