- Interface Summary
  Interface | Description
  --- | ---
  CrossoverPolicy | Policy used to create a pair of new chromosomes by performing a crossover operation on a source pair of chromosomes.
  Fitness | Fitness of a chromosome.
  MutationPolicy | Algorithm used to mutate a chrommosome.
  PermutationChromosome<T> | Interface indicating that the chromosome represents a permutation of objects.
  Population | A collection of chromosomes that facilitates generational evolution.
  SelectionPolicy | Algorithm used to select a chromosome pair from a population.
  StoppingCondition | Algorithm used to determine when to stop evolution.
