   It should be obvious, but "fitness" (which generally is a probability   
   of passing genetic information to later generations) is a scalar.   
   Evolutionary algorithms based on vectorish values in which fitness is   
   used this way are simply another way of reducing a vector value to a   
   scalar for the purposes of optimization.
