Good point. Not only that, but a case can be made that one cannot build such as system as an end stage. Instead, it appears that ontogeny must recapitulate phylogeny. The system must develop over time as a result of inputs (and the remembered collection of past inputs encoded in the DNA). It would be as if in order to build Twitter with Ruby on Rails, you first had to program a tax calculation application in Cobol on a 1950s mainframe.
