  2. Selection (evolutionary algorithm) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_(evolutionary...

    If this procedure is repeated until there are enough selected individuals, this selection method is called fitness proportionate selection or roulette-wheel selection. If instead of a single pointer spun multiple times, there are multiple, equally spaced pointers on a wheel that is spun once, it is called stochastic universal sampling.

  3. Fitness proportionate selection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitness_proportionate...

    Usually a proportion of the wheel is assigned to each of the possible selections based on their fitness value. This could be achieved by dividing the fitness of a selection by the total fitness of all the selections, thereby normalizing them to 1. Then a random selection is made similar to how the roulette wheel is rotated.

  4. The Burning Wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burning_Wheel

    The Burning Wheel is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game independently written and published by Luke Crane. The game uses a dice pool mechanic (using only standard six-sided dice ) for task resolution and a character generation system that tracks the history and experiences of new characters from birth to the point they begin adventuring.

  5. Spinner (wheel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinner_(wheel)

    These "spinner-wheel covers" were available on standard as well as featured on custom cars, and lowriders quickly adapted them for their vehicles. [7] During the early-1960s, the simulated wire wheel covers returned, but with a new look designed to emphasize sportiness with their radiating spokes and center "spinner caps."

  6. Rotating locomotion in living systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_locomotion_in...

    A wheeled buffalo figurine—probably a children's toy—from Magna Graecia in archaic Greece [1]. Several organisms are capable of rolling locomotion. However, true wheels and propellers—despite their utility in human vehicles—do not play a significant role in the movement of living things (with the exception of the corkscrew-like flagella of many prokaryotes).

  7. Microcosmic orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcosmic_orbit

    Microcosmic orbit. The history of the microcosmic orbit dates back to prehistoric times in China, and the underlying principles can be found in the I Ching which according to legend was written by the Emperor Fu Xi approximately five thousand years ago or at least two centuries before the time of the Yellow Emperor.

  8. King Wen sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Wen_sequence

    The King Wen sequence (Chinese: 文王卦序) is an arrangement of the sixty-four divination figures in the I Ching (often translated as the Book of Changes).They are called hexagrams in English because each figure is composed of six 爻 yáo—broken or unbroken lines, that represent yin or yang respectively.

  9. Cocktail shaker sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocktail_shaker_sort

    Cocktail shaker sort, [1] also known as bidirectional bubble sort, [2] cocktail sort, shaker sort (which can also refer to a variant of selection sort), ripple sort, shuffle sort, [3] or shuttle sort, is an extension of bubble sort. The algorithm extends bubble sort by operating in two directions.
