Crossover (Breeding + Mutation) Setup

When selecting two parents, three operations are applied to create two children:
1. Breeding
2. Variable Mutation (VM)
3. Function (Node) Mutation (NM)
You can choose to turn off any of these operations.

Variable Mutation Rate

default is 0.1 (10% chance that this variable will be mutated)

Function Mutation Rate

default is 0.3 (30% chance that this function/node/box will be mutated)

Random Mutation Change

random within a valid range (1)

Increment Mutation Change

e.g. If the value to be mutated is 1 and the increment is 0.2, then the mutated value would be a random number between 0.8 and 1.2.
