The immensity of the string landscape and the difficulty of identifying solutions that match the observed features of particle physics have raised serious questions about the predictive power of string theory. Modern methods of optimisation and search can, however, significantly improve the prospects of constructing the standard model in string theory. In this paper we scrutinise a corner of the heterotic string landscape consisting of compactifications on Calabi-Yau three-folds with monad bundles and show that genetic algorithms can be successfully used to generate anomaly-free supersymmetric SO(10) GUTs with three families of fermions that have the right ingredients to accommodate the standard model. We compare this method with reinforcement learning and find that the two methods have similar efficacy but somewhat complementary characteristics.

    In a wafer-modified Bousso-Polchinski model, 99.95% of the 532 million Calabi-Yau fourfold configurations in the Schöller-Skarke database allow vacuum energy spacings of 10^{-120} or smaller, with membrane nucleation ...

    Even an arbitrarily small-weight issue can destabilize stable opinion states and massively slow convergence; concentrating importance on few issues raises polarization, while spreading it promotes pluralism.
