Future Darwinism- A Networked Information Theory: "Future Darwinism- A Networked Information Theory
Written by David Tow
David TowThe latest physical theories place both information and network theory at the heart of evolutionary processes.

At the cosmic and quantum level, theories such as Loop Quantum Gravity- LQG for example, model the evolution of the cosmos by flows of information through channels of spacetime. The core principle incorporated in LQG is that the structure of spacetime is built up from a network of interacting connections or spin networks, constructed from causal relationships, which evolve and grow over time from the past to the future. The topological braiding patterns of network nodes can also encode quantum particles

At the biological level, based on experiments measuring the ability of bacteria to adapt to new food sources, there is proof of an 'information minimum' level required for life’s survival. Natural selection favours organisms that capture more bits of information about their environment and this principle is common to all living systems. There is also a greater understanding that the analysis of cellular networks and the multilayered controls of gene expression can be best understood in terms of networked patterns."
