In my GA (written in C++), I have an object, "Population" which contains
an array of "Individual". An "Individual" contains a "Chromosome."  A
"Chromosome" contains an array of "Genes."  "Genes" inherit from the class
"Random" which has random, Gaussian, etc. functions which are used by
the "Gene" function "mutate." Each type of object has other
data and operators on those objects.  Is that what you mean by object-GA?
