  • Patent number: 11977988
    Abstract: In a method for applying deterministic logic to select resources for resource genomes in a genetic algorithm, a logic engine identifies resources associated with an objective and an overall task population to be completed by one or more of the identified resources. The logic engine then selects a deterministic logical framework from one or more deterministic logical frameworks based on the objective. Following the selection of a deterministic logical framework, the logic engine selects one or more resources from the one or more identified resources based on the selected deterministic logical framework. The logic engine compiles the one or more selected resources into a resource genome, assigns one or more tasks from the task population to the one or more selected resources, and sends instructions to the one or more selected resources to execute the one or more tasks. The logic engine determines a value score for the resource genome.
