Understood. This seems to be a truly colaborative effort. People will develop 
the mechanism, I suspect, as answers to specific problems, that require 
computational physics, chemistry, biology, math, and engineering. In the next 
few years, one might even see philosophy departments (British?) add smart 
servers and workstations to enhance their "deep" questions, for example. 
Marketing firms may use it to rapidly model and anticipate changes in 
customer demand, and so forth. Perhaps meterologists will get greater 
crunching power, in the comming decade, for their forecasts. Its not called 
evolution for nothing, and what survives is what is either luckiest, or what 
fits the environment successfully enough to spawn children.
