Re: God's Utility Function


Edser's response was a bit more interesting, and I will respond to his
suggestion here as well. John suggests that natural selection drives
each species toward maximizing its own entropy production.

Hi Jim,
I think I stated that fertile (adult) individuals are selected in nature
to form reversible fitness mutualizing associations (populations) which
necessarily _minimizes_ entropy production per individual by maximizing
TDF (Total Darwinian Fitness) per associated Darwinian (mono-centric)
unit of selection, per population.
