Re: Minimization principal for evolution

From my intuitive understanding of physics it would seem to me that
evolution should satisfy some sort of minimization principal (e.g.
energy minimization). Has anybody ever come across such a principal?




Evolution is an umbrella term for only vaguely (hence only tolerably)
definable patterning tendencies.

In respect of phylogeny of flora and fauna, the result of these
tendencies
is, if anything, 'Edserian maximization' (:-)).

Not a minimization of anything.

That is, anything other than perhaps
minimization of a lack of Edserian maximization. :-)

Apropos which, I interpret Edserian maximization
as synonymous with any and all instances of lineage-lengthening
lifetime successes by individual geno/phenotypes.
