I have been intermittently pondering your evolutionary genetics and I like it more and more. Would there be any value in trying to get someone like Jonathan Eisen, Professor at UC Davis (biologist/blogger w/ focus on evolution/ecology of microbes/genomes & #openscience; lab: http://phylogenomics.wordpress.com ; TED: TED: Ideas Worth Spreading) to provide input into building an autonomous core code (SAFE DNA) evolution?
I think his blog is absolutely hilarious and strikes me as very SAFE network approved. His frequent posts supporting #GenderAvengers is great.
More importantly though he seems to be a good person to apply SAFE evolution to concepts includiing Neutral theory of molecular evolution (what kind of core code evolution would be possible) with Universality and Attractor values in dynamical systems (where code evolution can go); Self-organized criticality answering when code should evolve; Pareto distribution being dictated by Power Law answering who is able to make code changes. It seems all the above math features Scale invariance
It seems obvious that staying in the realm of mathematics/nature and staying away from human control will be the safest route for the networks evolution.
