On: Pareidoloop: Faces generated at random

I feel like this is a very generalizable process. Using randomization and a fitness metric to randomly generate and refine something. Seems like it should have a name a few dozen thesis papers written about it. Anyone know?

Also, this seems to be a very clear simulation of how we think evolution and natural selection work together. Fun.
