The postulates of General Replicator theory are as follows
1 Traits of Replicators are randomly generated.
2 Traits of Replicators are inherited by "children"
from "parents".
3 Traits of Replicators are selected by the environment.
The general process is that characteristics are continually
being generated in a random manner, usually by varying
existing traits, but this is not a necessary assumption.
These characteristics, and existing ones, are replicated in
children, with the environment acting in a non-random (but
usually non-conscious) manner selecting what particular
characteristics survive. In principle, it does not matter
whether or not traits are randomly generated or
deliberately generated. The theory still applies
identically. The reason for introducing the concept of
random generation, is simply to explain that complicated
behavior does not require any conscious or designer type
intervention.
