An EvolutionState object is a singleton object which holds the entire state of an evolutionary run.

Individual
An Individual is an item in the EC population stew which is evaluated and assigned a fitness which determines its likelihood of selection.

QueueIndividual
Associates subpopulation number with individual in queue.

SelectionMethod
A SelectionMethod is a BreedingSource which provides direct IMMUTABLE pointers to original individuals in an old population, not fresh mutable copies.

Setup
Setup classes are classes which get set up once from user-supplied parameters prior to being used.

Singleton
A Singleton is a class for which there will be only one instance in the entire course of a run, and which will exist for pretty much the entire run.

Individual
An Individual is an item in the EC population stew which is evaluated and assigned a fitness which determines its likelihood of selection.

Prototype
Prototype classes typically have one or a few prototype instances created during the course of a run.

Setup
Setup classes are classes which get set up once from user-supplied parameters prior to being used.

Species
Species is a prototype which defines the features for a set of individuals in the population.

BreedingPipeline
A BreedingPipeline is a BreedingSource which provides "fresh" individuals which can be used to fill a new population.

BreedingSource
A BreedingSource is a Prototype which provides Individuals to populate new populations based on old ones.
