Genome Types Reference

This section documents all built-in genome types in fugue-evo.

Overview

Core Trait

All genomes implement EvolutionaryGenome:

pub trait EvolutionaryGenome: Clone + Send + Sync + Serialize + DeserializeOwned {
    /// Convert to Fugue trace representation
    fn to_trace(&self) -> Trace;

    /// Reconstruct from trace
    fn from_trace(trace: &Trace) -> Result<Self, GenomeError>;
}

Specialized Traits

Additional traits for specific genome types:

/// Real-valued genomes
pub trait RealValuedGenome: EvolutionaryGenome {
    fn genes(&self) -> &[f64];
    fn genes_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [f64];
    fn dimension(&self) -> usize;
}

/// Binary genomes
pub trait BinaryGenome: EvolutionaryGenome {
    fn bits(&self) -> &[bool];
    fn bits_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [bool];
    fn length(&self) -> usize;
}

/// Permutation genomes
pub trait PermutationGenome: EvolutionaryGenome {
    fn as_slice(&self) -> &[usize];
    fn len(&self) -> usize;
}
