Hi,

I'm new to PICs. What I'm wondering is.

Can one PIC clone itself into another PIC?

Specifically, what I'd like to accomplish (some day) is genetic
programming (GP) implemented on a PIC, such that
- some learned behavior is stored
- this behavior somehow 'maps' to program snippets
- the program snippets and the main program are somehow integrated (I'll
worry about the details ;)and burned into the other PIC
- learning resumes on the other PIC and the process will repeat

I have experience with genetic algorithms, and I see essentially no
problems with a straightforward implementation of a GA on a PIC (apart
from memory limitations).

This is different from GP where the result is a new program rather than
new parameters.
I'm just curious whether what I described above has been attempted or
whether there are reasons why it could not work.
