public class Individual
extends Object
We distinguish between an individual and its genes, because the genes are constant, but the value of the individual might change during its lifetime. The Individual is neither supposed to be able to calculate its value nor to know the structure of its genome: this is the business of the Evaluator. It is, however, a good idea to cache the value (fitness) in the Individual if the calculation is non-trivial.
