As conceptualized here, binary attributes are referred to 
GENETIC ALGORITHM TEMPLATE as "cybergenes" that can be arranged in chromosome-like 
fashion into "cyberchromes." Through the tool-box of 
rules, system properties would be changed according to 
A genetic algorithm that is based on biological genomes, observed stimulus-response patterns beginning with 
but which is also sensitive to environmental attributes and genetic networks and progressing through the terrestria] 
human impacts is shown in Table 1. This approach would environment to atmospheric properties. For example, an 
convert as many field and laboratory observations and increase in mutation rates resulting from increased 
measurements as are available for an ecosystem into ultraviolet radiation, would be accountable in the genetic 
binary sequences representing organisms interacting with 
their environments; and developing the rules required to 
emulate their stimulus-response reactions.
