Sounds cool.. Btw by `self-evaluating' I  mean the ability for objects 
in a simulation to generate classes & code on the fly that run with the 
same efficiency as precompiled code, while still having all objects able 
to probe/reflect on one another.   For model selection (e.g. genetic 
programming), inferring and mutating agent types or instances (and 
having them run fast) is a valuable capability.
