Is Unorganized Development Possible in Evolutionary Processes?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of "unorganized development" within evolutionary processes. Participants question whether true unorganized development exists and how it can be defined in relation to evolutionary parameters such as fitness, mutation, and elitism. The idea of "credit" in evolutionary terms is debated, with one viewpoint suggesting that credit is not given to unorganized development, as it implies a struggle against obstacles that leads to equilibrium in species populations. The conversation touches on the randomness of evolutionary events, clarifying that while evolution involves random processes, it does not imply complete chaos. A reference to a paper on evolution as an emergent process is provided for further exploration. The discussion concludes with a mention of the predator-prey model as a potential framework for understanding these concepts.

Is there "unorganized development" in an evolutionary process ?

If there weren't, how could you define something "oganized enough" to fit the evolutionary parameters (fitness, mutation, elitism, ...) ? Or that "organized" should be absolute ?

I really doubt and would like to learn how a credit is deliver to unorganized development ?


Thanks

What do you mean by credit ?
Credit isnot or never I do believe as always, delivered to unorganized development, or else it is the exposition of the retarded force against the obstacles, the food net is assumed to be at equilibrium point or some species will come to extinction. If there is any of such a delivery then that would be forceful in the animal kingdom or traps to catch the food source.
 
Do you mean 'random process' sometimes called stochastic process?

Yes, the events in evolution are random, but not in the exact sense you probably use to mean random.

Here is a discussion meant for students about evolution as an emergent process:

It explains what I think you are asking.

Yes, that what i am talk about

thank you
 
I think you have been looking for an improved version of predator-prey model

Seriously, except simple host-parasite ones, I know of any not. OK good luck and sorry for the wrong ideas.

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
