    It’s feed back only in the sense that it can be seen as a success or a failure by an independent observer.

    It’s not like a tree can see that last year’s seeds weren’t very good and try a different mutation this year.

    Genes are not self aware, mutations do not have an end goal and survival simply comes down to chance.
