> The new LED pattern replaces the current pattern on the egg donor’s badge So there are some constraints here that point toward what a version 2 could look like. Under the current paradigm, every child has a unique set of parents - there are no full siblings. And there are no cousins through the egg donor side. Like real sex, there is no way to take an exceptionally fit egg donor and see what the child could look like with different sperm donors - you can do this with Electric Sheep though. Electric Sheep breeds randomly and has an upvote/downvote feedback mechanism, some kind of additional feedback mechanism could be added to these badges to hasten evolution. It seems like the constraints to the badge are by virtue of it relying on physical hardware of which finite instances are available, whereas Electric Sheep is limited only by much more vast software resources. So maybe the badge creatures have a lifecycle, when they reproduce instead of replacing the egg donor immediately, the child enters a pool waiting to spawn in the next available deceased badge creature?
