Sure. It’s an optimization process. At least in my vocabulary process and algorithm are more or less synonymous. But totally fine with calling it a process instead.
What in your mind are the wrong intuition created from calling it an algorithm?
(I was objecting to Dan’s point. I think evolution is both an optimization process and meaningfully described as an “optimization algorithm”. I don’t really know what Dan’s point is, since the book he linked doesn’t super agree with it, though it does provide nuance to the degree to which evolution could be described as an optimization process)

Got it.
