Your Definition
The guided or accelerated process of evolutionary change driven by human-designed selection pressures, rather than natural ones. This is done through direct genetic engineering (CRISPR), simulated evolution via genetic algorithms in software, or by creating controlled environments where only organisms with desired traits can survive and reproduce. The goal is to "breed" solutions—new materials, optimized proteins, or even novel lifeforms—at a pace millions of times faster than blind nature.
