Description

1. For the initial generation, 10 or more points are randomly selected in the plane below the surface. 2. Two pairs of points are selected randomly from the initial population. Each pair produces a new point halfway between them. 3. From those two new points, the one below the surface at a lower height is selected. 4. Steps 2 and 3 are repeated until there are enough points for the next generation.
