Natural selection requires variation. Information theory tells us that all information is subject to noise and therefore variation across time.
Are you considering variations introduced during learning (as essentially changes to code, that can then be copied). Are you consider variations introduced by microscopic changes to the chemical/structural configurations of the maintained/produced hardware?
However, we can reduce error rates to arbitrarily low probabilities using coding schemes.
Thanks for the thoughts! Some critical questions:
