Introduction to Evolutionary Algorithms

1. A gene describes some basic trait of an individual within an EA. In v1 of libcea, all genes will be of the same numeric type within a population.
2. An individual is formed of a complete set of genes. A singly-linked list will be used to store genes within individuals, allowing fast manipulation, at the expense of slow random access.
3. A group of individuals makes up the population of the EA, which is artificially evolved to (hopefully) produce a fit individual after some number of generations. Since individuals must all be of the same "species", a simple array can hold the population.
