+Starting with:
+* The <code>target</code> string: <code>"METHINKS IT IS LIKE A WEASEL"</code>.
+* An array of random characters chosen from the set of upper-case letters together with the space, and of the same length as the target string. (Call it the <code>parent</code>).
+* A <code>fitness</code> function that computes the ‘closeness’ of its argument to the target string.
+* A <code>mutate</code> function that given a string and a mutation rate returns a copy of the string, with some characters probably mutated.
+* While the <code>parent</code> is not yet the <code>target</code>:
+:* copy the <code>parent</code> C times, each time allowing some random probability that another character might be substituted using <code>mutate</code>.
+:* Assess the <code>fitness</code> of the parent and all the copies to the <code>target</code> and make the most fit string the new <code>parent</code>, discarding the others.
+:* repeat until the parent converges, (hopefully), to the target.
