Abstract
A system and method for designing a physical system using a genetic algorithm includes building a plurality of data structures necessary to build, heal, and verify a plurality of dependency chains; ensuring that multiple dependencies in a respective one of the plurality of dependency chains are represented correctly; removing any dependencies that will be trivially satisfied at random; in response to determining that one or more dependencies is consistent with another dependency, considering one or more combinations of dependencies; and building configurations that satisfy the dependencies and combinations of dependencies by associating the dependencies and combinations of dependencies with selected technology options and recursively specifying and/or revising additional technology options that are consistent with the dependencies or combinations of dependencies, until a configuration is fully specified.
