  abstract =     "Basic genetic programming (GP) techniques allow
                 individuals to take advantage of some basic top-down
                 design principles. In order to evaluate the
                 effectiveness of these techniques, we define a design
                 as an evolutionary frozen root node. We show that GP
                 design converges quickly based primarily on the best
                 individual in the initial random population. This leads
                 to speculation of several mechanisms that could be used
                 to allow basic GP techniques to better incorporate
                 top-down design principles.",
