Chinese Traditional Medicine and graph theory, which is Scientists more tend to believe part-theory based genetic named as naïve five-element string algorithm. The new engineering rather than TCM. We are not resisting any algorithm utilizes strings of elements from member set advancements in science and technology, however, we {0,1,2,3,4} to represent the values of candidate solutions (typically represented as vectors in n-dimensional Euclidean also have to accept the cruel realities: only 30% of the space). Except the mathematical operations for evaluating patients or illness could be cured by modern western the objective function, sort procedure, creating initial medicine, and on other hand, no less than 30% of the population randomly, the algorithm only involves if-else patients or illness could be cured by traditional medical logical operation. In contrast to existing global optimization treatments. More and more people accept traditional algorithms, the five-element algorithm engages the simplest medical treatments because of cost-saving and mathematics but reaches the highest searching efficiency.
