The Atom of Evolution
Abstract
The main mechanism of evolution is that biological
entities change, are selected, and reproduce. We propose
a different concept in terms of the main agent or atom of
evolution: in the biological world, not an individual object,
but its interactive network is the fundamental unit of
evolution. The interaction network is composed of
interaction pairs of information objects that have order
information. This indicates a paradigm shift from 3D
biological objects to an abstract network of information
entities as the primary agent of evolution. It forces us to
change our views about how organisms evolve and
therefore the methods we use to analyze evolution.
