And we think of this as multiple almost airports that are proteins that are more central hubs versus their proteins that maybe are not as important hub.
If you introduce a problem in the most populated hub, you're going to mess up the traffic system more drastically.
And that's what we were messing with in the biological terms as well.
Translation would be one.
Exactly.
It wouldn't do multiple modules.
It focused on one module at a time.
And right before that module maybe reached to its own maximum, it stalled its optimality at a certain degree.
So you never get to a degree that is more optimal than you can achieve, even though perhaps another mutation could get you there.
That's exactly what we thought, and it was not the case for all the broken translation missionaries.
For instance, if the variant was coming from a near ancestor, that didn't happen.
It was almost cruising around, trying different modules and sort of living its best life still, because there is no real urgency in the system to fix the most important problem.
So you take a look at it and you see all the sweaters or, you know, jeans are all over the place.
And then you look at a drawer that has socks coming out of it.
And you think that's the most important one.
I'm just going to fix that one.
And then you fix that one.
And then you think you will get to the other one, but you don't because you just fix the most important one.
That is the, whatever that was getting into your way.
That's really what evolution is.
