Scientists propose sweeping new law of nature, expanding on evolution
- PeterStuer 3y agoI'm confused. When I worked with AI/AL researchers and biologists in the 90's, competing imperfect replicators seemed to be the standard paradigm. How is this thing new or different?
- lioeters 3y ago> Titled the "law of increasing functional information," it holds that evolving systems, biological and non-biological, always form from numerous interacting building blocks like atoms or cells, and that processes exist - such as cellular mutation - that generate many different configurations. Evolution occurs, it holds, when these various configurations are subject to selection for useful functions.

- vimax 3y agoIs this related at all to "Assembly Theory" that was discussed recently?
- sombragris 3y agoYeah, a breaktrhough like Haeckel's "biogenetic law"..?
