At a certain point of complexity, machines become intractable to engineer using traditional engineering methods. One way to continue the advancement of technology is via simulated evolution.
In Simulated Evolution, a high-fidelity environment is created virtually. Seed organisms, which can be either newly-created simple organisms or translations of existing organisms into the virtual environment, are introduced and given time within the simulation.
Given a long enough simulated time and a high enough resolution of simulation, the resulting organisms will evolve and speciate via natural selection. By controlling the evolution of the simulated environment, the resulting virtual species will be tuned for survival in conditions of the simulation designers' choosing.
If the simulation is close enough to the Physics under which the simulation machine was built, it is possible to use extremely advanced nano-biotechnology to translate the simulated organism into the simulation's containing Physics. At this point, the organism will be able to live and reproduce as if it had evolved within the containing Physics itself.
