Use Brainstorm to experiment and explore settings

Brainstorm creates multiple temporary variants of your composition and displays them in a grid. You can save any
number of these variants, apply one to the current composition, or redo the Brainstorm operation using only the
variants that you choose as input.

Brainstorm uses genetic algorithms to mutate and select property values used as input into each Brainstorm
operation. You decide which variants to include as input to each generation and how much mutation (randomness)
to use.
