Wasn’t sure if the flair mathematics was more appropriate or not. Can you what is it and what is its purpose as opposed to statistics?

I am neither a mathematician nor know anything professionally about this. Most of my knowledge stems from Code Bullet videos. The numbers in this text will be as an example, not necessarily near the reality, since I am no pro.
As far as I understand it, it is like traininga pet just with a computer programme. You begin with a programme that’s capable to do, e.g. 5 different things, but it doesn’t know when or in which order and when to stop. Then you create a testing environment (like a laboratory in my understanding), where you give the programme the option to do anything at random. And then you observe and judge, how good this programme did. Then you repeat this step. (Or you give 500 programmes the opportunity to do their things in a random way simultaneously and judge them all). Then you pick the one, who did the best and say to it, that it may change some of its internal behaviour algorithm (like the ways it decides, when and in which order to do one or more of these 5 things) a little bit, and let it change its behaviour in 500 different ways. And then you judge those new 500 programmes again, judge which did the best, and repeat.
For me it sounds like the concept of trial and error, just not once, but many, many times to finally come to something, that works good.
