One or more machine code entities such as functions are created which represent solutions to a problem and are directly executable by a computer. The programs are created and altered by a program in a higher level language such as "C" which is not directly executable, but requires translation into executable machine code through compilation, interpretation, translation, etc. The entities are initially created as an integer array that can be altered by the program as data, and are executed by the program by recasting a pointer to the array as a function type. The entities are evaluated by executing them with training data as inputs, and calculating fitnesses based on a predetermined criterion. The entities are then altered based on their fitnesses using a machine learning algorithm by recasting the pointer to the array as a data (e.g. integer) type. This process is iteratively repeated until an end criterion is reached. The entities evolve in such a manner as to improve their fitness, and one entity is ultimately produced which represents an optimal solution to the problem. Each entity includes a plurality of directly executable machine code instructions, a header, a footer, and a return instruction. The instructions include branch instructions which enable subroutines, leaf functions, external function calls, recursion, and loops. The system can be implemented on an integrated circuit chip, with the entities stored in high speed memory in a central processing unit.

[ We claim:] [1.] A computer implemented learning method comprising the steps of:(a) providing a computer with an indirectly executable program including:a first instruction that points to and designates machine code stored in a memory as data;a second instruction that points to and designates machine code stored in a memory as directly executable code;a third instruction that alters machine code pointed to by the first instruction; anda fourth instruction that executes machine code pointed to by the second instruction; and(b) controlling the computer to execute the program which performs the steps of:(b1) creating and storing a machine code entity including a directly executable instruction in a memory, said directly executable instruction causing the processor to execute, as a next instruction, an instruction other than an instruction which directly follows said directly executable instruction in the entity;(b2) executing the second instruction to point to the entity;(b3) executing the fourth instruction using input data to produce a result;(b4) evaluating the result using a learning algorithm;(b5) executing the first instruction to point to the entity;(b6) executing the third instruction to alter the entity using an alteration algorithm to include a different directly executable instruction; and(b7) repeating steps (b3) to (b6) until an end criterion is reached.
