150 word theme outline:
Genetic Algorithms are a computational technique for finding optimised responses and solutions to design or other problems. Random populations of candidates are generated through numerous cycles of computer algorithms and culled through a process of natural selection. The selection pool of higher performing candidates are repeatedly implemented in simulations. Mutations and hybrids help to populate ongoing generations until a suitable selection pool is achieved.
Genetic algorithms suit a number of applications including engineering, mathematics, chemistry, as well as a host of other fields, including more recently, architectural design. Collaborators such as Black Box Studio at design firm Skidmore Owings and Merrill are leading the way in their research and application of this technique. The advantage of this exercise is evident in the obscure and unexpected results which can be further explored. Potential solutions which may have otherwise been overlooked due to preconceived biases inherent in the design team. Depending on the particular pre-determined performance criteria Architectural Genomics can be used to benefit any design solution for which there is a quantifiable outcome.

“Set”
And in the proposed theoretic context: "Mindset"
It is a part of the human condition that we seek to categorise disparate conditions or subjects into a context that makes them relevant to one another. 'We' create relationships according to our perception.
'Our' classification and categorisation fulfils our own need to live "in a world we understand". The human is the only animal to assign meaning and philosophy to his environment, drawing similarity and making mental connections at every opportunity. It is the human mind therefore which is responsible for the notion of "Set".
