$\begingroup$ "The information you have provided is wholly insufficient for a detailed answer" No it isn't, copy errors happen in digital data & any data that tells them how to build their 'offspring' is inevitably part of the data that they must copy & transfer to their 'child' so the answer is simply 'Yes' if we're assuming self-replicating machines as a given then over an adequate length of time it's inevitable // all organic evolution is essentially the same as this, data copying errors in DNA, so not a lot of difference $\endgroup$
