“A person whose skin is metallic can no more have its reproduction restricted than a black-skinned person. Regarding life as a form of machinery and intelligent machines as people without our environmental limitations is essential in understanding FAP, the Final Anthropic Principle, which deals with evolution in the far future.” PeoplePersonsFormUnderstandingBlackDealsPrinciplesEvolutionEssentialsSkinsMachinesIntelligentEnvironmentalFinalsLimitationMachineryOur EnvironmentReproductionMetallicAnthropic PrincipleIntelligent Machines Author:Frank J.

“Holland's and Kauffman's work, together with Dawkins' simulations of evolution and Varela's models of autopoietic systems, provide essential inspiration for the new discipline of artificial life, This approach, initiated by Chris Langton (1989, 1992), tries to develop technological systems (computer programs and autonomous robots) that exhibit lifelike properties, such as reproduction, sexuality, swarming, and co-evolution.” TryingInspirationTogetherEvolutionDisciplineEssentialsComputerApproachModelsProgramPropertySexualityWorking TogetherArtificialTechnologicalRobotsExhibitsReproductionAutonomousSimulationHollandArtificial Life Author:John Henry Holland

“It is essential for evolution to become the central core of any educational system, because it is evolution, in the broad sense, that links inorganic nature with life, and the stars with the earth, and matter with mind, and animals with man. Human history is a continuation of biological evolution in a different form.” MenMindHumansDifferentMatterEarthFormStarsAnimalEvolutionEssentialsEducationalCoreBroadsLinksHuman HistoryEducational SystemContinuationBiological Evolution Author:Julian Huxley
“Social evolution is a resultant of the interaction of two wholly distinct factors: the individual ... bearing all the power of initiative and origination in his hands; and, second, the social environment with its power of adopting or rejecting both him and his gifts. Both factors are essential to change. The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.” TwoHandsDiesIndividualSocialCommunityEnvironmentEvolutionEssentialsFactorsImpulseInteractionInitiativeRejectingAdoptingSocial Environment Book:Essays in Popular Philosophy: Top Essays Source: Essays in Popular Philosophy: Top Essays

However space necessarily interplays with time and form, therefore the three factors are as one of biogeographic concern.” SaidMightFormScienceThreeSpaceEvolutionEssentialsConcernConcernedFactors Author:Leon Croizat
