Not that I am advocating this, mind you, but....

Write mutatable viri that compete.  Make them such that they run REAL

What an experiment!  Competition, mutation, "species" formation,...
Corewars worldwide!  Just sample the "universe" every few days
(appox every millinium).

Cross post to talk.origins, of course!
