All Implemented Interfaces:
java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
NotGene

public abstract class UnaryLogicalGene
extends FunctionGene

Abstract base class for unary logical operators like NotGene that take a boolean parameter and return a boolean. (This is unnecessary since only NotGene subclass, but consistent with other function class hierarchies).
