I'd be curious if the OP has looked at the literature on evolutionary programs (not evo algos, but programs).
15 or so years ago now - before I worked professionally really - I worked with Common Lisp to create a little toy tool to build, essentially, ASTs and evolve them to achieve a given fitness function. It was a heavily studied topic in the 1995-2005 timeframe at my alma mater. I just uploaded it ( https://github.com/pnathan/z-system ) as an amusing bit. I'd be curious if the OP has looked at the literature on evolution…
I spent some time at your Uni in the early 90s. From what I remember there wasn't a whiff of Lisp on the curriculum.

Ha, can I ask who the involved prof/s was/were? I spent some time at your Uni in the early 90s. From what I remember there wasn't a whiff of Lisp on the curriculum.
I wandered off to do this Lisp on my own, inspired by the code-is-data concept of Lisp. This work is strictly toy, to self demonstrate the possibility. Wouldn't mind revisiting it sometime to bring in the top of the academic art. But I am not affiliated with a U, so publishing would be a challenge.Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sadly not. When I was developing Zyme, I was thinking a lot about the molecular components of a cell and how one might translate them into a virtual machine. I was particularly inspired by enZYMEs.
I just realized that that's what the oeigin of the deus ex drug must be as well lol

Heckendorn and Soule were the key profs in the research in the area. One other maybe?. Soule in particular. In 04 I was doing some undergrad research around training neural networks with particle swarms. I wandered off to do this Lisp on my own, inspired by the code-is-data concept of Lisp.
