Contents:
Part 1: Basics first. Introduction -- Methods and basic terminology -- Part 2: The unifying theory of evolution. Perspectives in evolution -- Materialisation: readying for the evolutionary pressure, survival of the fitted -- Communicative interaction: contributing relational aspects to evolutionary processes -- Stabilisation: balancing efficiency and effectiveness at evolution -- Prioritization: maximising effectiveness of evolution -- Differentiation: survival of the fittest orchestration -- Evolution of evolvability, survival of the fittest evolutionary mechanisms -- Integration of phenotype within the environment, niche construction -- Part 3: Discussion. Pre-life evolutionary changes -- Strengths and weaknesses of the work -- Conclusion -- Part 4: Information model. The Mereon matrix's template information model -- The overall Mereon matrix model of human molecular genetics -- Extending parts of the template information model -- Assessment against supplementary information from the template information model -- Reflecting on validity.
Summary: Stringent ways of thinking, 'conceptual frameworks', are necessary in science. The drawback is that the associated assumptions, concepts, rules and practice may become so deeply entrenched that they turn into tacit knowledge and hence give rise to constraints in scientific thought and practice - that is, a new kind of plethora that seriously blinds and thereby hampers scientific progress. This book, 'A Unifying Theory of Evolution Generated by Means of Information Modelling', presents a methodology for describing complex knowledge domains. It applies a template information model based on a dynamic structure of interrelated functions, called the Mereon Matrix. Application of this template model to the field of evolutionary theories enabled the unification of the sometimes chaotic and competing field of evolutionary theories, large and small, seamlessly in a shared framework.
