A method of analyzing an environment is provided. The method comprises generating, using a population generation module, an initial population comprising a plurality of individuals, each individual comprising a dominant genotype and a recessive genotype. The method further comprises evaluating, using a fitness evaluation module, the fitness of each of the plurality of individuals by applying a fitness function to the dominant genotype of each individual. The method further comprises modifying, using the fitness evaluation module, the initial population of individuals based on the fitness evaluation. The method further comprises injecting, using the population generation module, one or more additional individuals into the modified population of individuals. Each of the additional individuals comprises a randomly generated dominant genotype. The population generation module, fitness evaluation module, and change detection module comprise instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that are executable by a processor.
