-        Must be in the range [0, 1]. Default is 0.5.
-

-
-    dtype (cupy.dtype): Data type for the arrays. np.float32 by default. Example: cp.float64 or cp.float16. [fp32 for balanced devices, fp64 for strong devices, fp16 for weak devices: not reccomended!] (optional)
-
-Raises:
-    ValueError: 
-        - If `policy` is not one of the specified values ('normal_selective', 'more_selective', 'less_selective').
-        - If `cross_over_mode` is not one of the specified values ('tpm', 'plantic').
-        - If `bad_genoms_mutation_prob`, `activation_mutate_prob`, or other probability parameters are not in the range [0, 1].
-        - If the population size is odd (ensuring an even number of genomes is required for proper selection).
-
-Returns:
-    tuple: A tuple containing:
-        - weights (numpy.ndarray): The updated weights for the population after selection, crossover, and mutation. 
-                                  The shape is (population_size, output_shape, input_shape).
-        - activation_potentiations (list): The updated list of activation functions for the population.
-
-Notes:
-    - **Selection Process**: 
-        - The genomes are sorted by their fitness (based on `fitness`), and then split into "best" and "bad" halves. 
-        - The best genomes are retained, and the bad genomes are modified based on the selected strategy.
-        
-    - **Crossover and Potentiation Strategies**:
-        - The **'cross_over'** strategy performs crossover, where parts of the best genomes' weights are combined with the other good genomes to create new weight matrices.
-        - The **'potentiate'** strategy strengthens the best genomes by potentiating their weights towards the other good genomes.
-        
-    - **Mutation**:
-        - Mutation is applied to both the best and bad genomes, depending on the mutation probability and the `policy`.
-        - `bad_genoms_mutation_prob` determines the probability of applying mutations to the bad genomes.
-        - If `activation_mutate_prob` is provided, activation function mutations are applied to the genomes based on this probability.
-        
-    - **Population Size**: The population size must be an even number to properly split the best and bad genomes. If `fitness` has an odd length, an error is raised.
-    
-    - **Logging**: If `show_info=True`, the current generation and the maximum reward from the population are printed for tracking the learning progress.
+            - 'explorer': Explorer policy increases population diversity.
+                  Advantages: fitness does not get stuck at local maximum or minimum.
+                  Disadvantages: slow training.
+                  
+                  Suggestions: Use hybrid and dynamic policy. When fitness appears stuck, switch to the 'explorer' policy.
 
-Example:
-    ```python
-    weights, activation_potentiations = planeat.evolve(weights, activation_potentiations, 1, fitness, show_info=True, strategy='cross_over', policy='normal_selective')

-                                           are swapped between parents.
-                                         - 'plan': Output Connections Crossover, where specific connections 
-                                           in the weight matrix are crossed over. Default is 'tpm'.
+            - 'tpm': Two-Point Matrix Crossover, where sub-matrices of weights are swapped between parents.

+            with one from the second parent.
+        
+        activation_selection_rate (float): Determines how quickly activation functions are added or replaced 
+            during the crossover process.
+        
+        bad_genomes_selection_prob (float): Probability of selecting a "bad" genome for replacement with the offspring.

+        
+        second_parent_fitness (float): Fitness score of the second parent.
+        
+        fitness_bias (float): A bias factor used to favor fitter parents during crossover operations.
 
     Returns:
         tuple: A tuple containing:

+            - child_act (list): The list of activation functions of the new individual created by crossover.
 
     Notes:
         - The crossover is performed based on the selected `cross_over_mode`.
-            - In 'tpm', random sub-matrices from the parent weight matrices are swapped.
-            - In 'plantic', specific connections in the weight matrix are swapped between parents.
-        - The crossover operation combines the activation functions of both parents:
-            - If the activation functions are passed as strings, they are converted to lists for uniform handling.
-            - The resulting activation functions depend on the crossover method and the parent's configuration.
+        - In 'tpm' mode, random sub-matrices from the parent weight matrices are swapped.
+        - Activation functions from both parents are combined using the probabilities and rates provided.
 
     Example:
         ```python
-        new_weights, new_activations = cross_over(best_weight, good_weight, best_activations, good_activations, cross_over_mode='tpm')
