The Evolutionary Fix
How Evolution Learned to Use the Future
Description:... Although evolution is a well established concept the mechanism by which the transition from a physical mechanism to one able to shape the future has still to be satisfactorily explained. This book offers a sequence of natural events that allow the known capabilities of life to be reached by chance alone. In doing so it offers and explains four new ideas. The first is the strengthening of the role of the time vector by tying it to the ability of the evolutionary process to manipulate space.The second involves the transforming mechanism of evolution in which the time vector uses the existence of past and future to anticipate, shape and exploit the future.The third major idea is the recognition and defining of eternal zones that evolution of the universe and life has always relied on. We humans have always exploited this idea but in the main have not acknowledged its importance.And the fourth idea is the natural existence of a simple chain escape mechanism that gives evolution the ability to maximise chance . It is this that makes natural selection work.
