Unread, but looks like a new data point on the "engineering and science research is jammed into silos that never talk to one another" histogram: this is a solved problem in the GP community.

will I ever understand all the effort statisticians put into what I consider a solved problem? Pareto-GP is apparently utterly unknown, still

"It was also realised that had the layout optimization solver been incorporated within a user-friendly interactive software package, then it would have been very much easier to rapidly change the design problem in response to feedback from other members of the design team..."

"Suppose you are given a simple closed curve in the plane. (“Simple” means the curve does not intersect itself, “closed” means the curve ends at the same point where it begins.) Can you always find four points on the curve which form the vertices of a square?"

Interesting prospect for Nudge applications
