if natural selection were to use back-propagation, then killing or allowing procreation would be measurable not only in the genome right after birth of an IVF organism, but even be measurable in the half genomes of the sperm and egg cells before they met (assuming we reach some non-destructe genome sequencing technology). That would simply make actual natural selection useless. Moreover, if all cells had this capacity, and our neurons are cells too, why don't I have this skill inately?
I stand by my opinion that natural selection does not employ timetravel, and hence also does not employ backpropagation
EDIT: adding, one does not need timetravel for backpropagation in the brain or in a computer, just enough memory or delay bandwidth to store the intermediate values for backpropagation. i.e. the feedback is nearly instantaneous, or low bandwidth from example to scoring, but scoring in natural selection depends on how much offspring one makes before one dies, how can this inform the choice mutations??
