# Visual Selection

## Introduction

Many moons ago, back in 2008, while in a debate on an atheist-oriented phpBB

site (as was the fashion back then), I ended up writing [a couple of

scripts](https://github.com/davep/selection), in ruby, to illustrate a point

about how mutation and selection can, given enough time, result in something

with the appearance of design.

The code was far from a mic-drop body of evidence (it wasn't meant to be), I

think it did an okay job of showing how nothing more than just mutating

something and selecting for the "fitter" options can get you somewhere

meaningful given enough time.

No matter, either you get the illustration or you don't. That's not

important.

Fast forward 15 years and I was thinking that a Textual version of the code

might be fun.
