I've always assumed it's something like the infinite monkey theorem?

It’s that, but with the efficiency of violent competition to ensure things develop more coherently.

hmm right, so while the monkey needs infinite time... in reality there's a feedback loop that rewards the "correct" output

“Punishes” the “incorrect” output, more commonly.
