Is Evolution a Causal, Yet Not-Predetermined Process?

Abstract

It is demonstrated that “survival of the fittest” approach suffers fundamental flaw planted in its very goal: reaching a uniform state starting from a minor random event. Simple considerations prove that a generic property of any such state is its global instability. That is why a new approach to the evolution is put forward. It conjectures equilibrium for systems put in an ever-changing environment. The importance of this issue lies in the view that an ever-changing environment is much closer to the natural environment where the biological species live in. The major goal of the present paper is to demonstrate that a specific form of dynamical equilibrium among certain mutations is established in each and every stable in a long-run system. Major result of our considerations is that neither mutation nor either kind dominates forever because a temporary dynamical equilibrium is replaced with another one in the time course. It will be demonstrated that the evolution of those pieces of equilibrium is causal, yet not predetermined process.
