  // must find a set of phrases where the ordering of phrases is irrelevant
  // Parameters
  // - size of the alphabet
  // - phrase length
  // - number of phrases in the sequence
  // - number of optimal phrases
  // - reward for optimal phrases
  // - number of decoy (sub-optimal) phrases
  // - reward for decoy phrases (must be smaller than reward for optimal phrases)
  // - phrasesAsSets: a switch to determine wether symbols in a phrase can be shuffled (sets) or if the ordering is relevant (non-sets)

  // this problem should be similar to symbolic regression and should be easier for approaches using a state esimation value and the canoncial state 
  // when phrases are symbol sets instead of sequences then value-estimation routines should be better (TD)
