The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a classical optimization problem that seeks the shortest possible path through a set of n cities, visiting each city exactly once. The video visualizes this as a route drawn over a fixed point set in a 2D plane.
Conditions: There is a finite set of n cities.; The objective is to minimize total path length.; Each city must be visited exactly once.

Conditions: There is a finite set of n cities.; The objective is to minimize total path length.; Each city must be visited exactly once.
The video points out that routes crossing over themselves (self-intersections) are a sign of a worse solution. This visual cue is paired with a longer final path length in the status bar.
Conditions: Applies to the interactive TSP visualization shown in the clip.; The context is comparing different algorithm runs or parameters.

The video asserts that the Traveling Salesman Problem appears simple but is very hard to solve. This is presented as a qualitative warning about the computational complexity of the problem, contrasting the ease of stating the problem with the difficulty of finding the optimal solution.
Conditions: The problem is the standard TSP described earlier in the clip.; The context is a general statement about the problem's nature.

In the genetic-algorithm TSP demo, greedy crossover uses a heuristic rule that tries to choose the nearest unvisited city as the next move. This approach is presented as a way to quickly obtain an effectively short route.
Conditions: Used inside the genetic-algorithm TSP implementation.; The crossover option is enabled (greedy crossover: true).; At each step, the next city is chosen by nearest-unvisited-city preference.
