**June 21 [#a66d9fdc]
- Talked to CS major friend about problem, suggested hill climbing and genetic algorithms
- Doesn't think there is a need to use machine learning to predict transmission, because we already have a program to do it exactly! ML is only for when you don't know how to program an algorithm to solve the problem
- Agreed that truly chaotic behavior would make any algorithm, including neural networks, not work (imagine predicting a RNG)
- Tried to see what effect of changing one bit really is
- Found that transmission probability is discrete!
- Changing one bit can only move to one level above or below
