Like, other than using the Darwinian Genetic Algorithm, what
alternative method do you propose is how the brain works?

Something that's evidently orders of magnitude beyond the level of
understanding that you're allowing yourself to realize.

You say, "My 3-d box is The Way It Is and I hereby decree that it is
Impossible for Reality to be Any Way Except for That Which I
Dictate."

How about presenting a problem that is known solvable, that cant, in
principle, be solved by the dawianian algorithm?

With a small caveat re: "known solvable", where in the brain do you
consider "randomness" originating?

I don't know just how much "randomness" is actually required to get
effectively "new" structures. Obviously the neurons ultimately will
sometimes fire randomly based on QM.
