Best word to describe this process?
RobGR: Look at the words used in algorithm books for selecting the maximum - "maximizing" and "gradient following" and etc.  Maybe one of those is appropriate.Since all the english words are likely to be already taken as domain names, find out the Tibetan name for when the monks go around and find the baby that the Dalai Lama's soul has moved into, and then use that.Or maybe do something that reminds people of seeing who can pull the sword out of the stone, or the playoff process in sports.
