Abstract
Chapter 3 computed the probability that a hyperplane H k will survive recombination, given that one parent is in H k and that the other parent is arbitrary. However, as Syswerda (1989) pointed out, recombination can also be considered to have a more positive role — that of construction. Construction refers to having recombination create an instance of a hyperplane H k from both parents. As we will see, construction is a more general concept than simple survival.
