I don't think you understand what optimizing entails.

Optimization is inherently antithetical to balance, in principle.

Optimization is looking for local/global maxima. Balance is releasing the need from seeking local/global maxima entirely.

I mean, you could try to seek balance through optimization. Good luck with that.
