Evolutionary Origins

On the conceptual level everything that exists adjusts itself according to its place in the scheme of things in the moment. In any instant each concept obtains its meaning from the relative state of every other thing that exists. In the case of living creatures, the species archetype is changed continually by what happens to every member of its species. Each species is changed by the other creatures it interacts with, directly or indirectly. If there are 1043 adjustments in a second, it is not difficult to see how active and relentless the implicate evolutionary mechanism is. This mechanism is chaotic and subject to quantum fluctuations, even quantum leaps. This also explains how complex, all-or-nothing symbiosis relationships can form where incremental stages seem impractical. It may be obvious to say this but if there was no quantum process in evolution there would be a possibility of strange effects in nature - species drifting and tunneling - a vast blurring of species beyond superficial local adaptions to circumstance (alas the only mechanism science has to think about!). Of course, there are local adaptions over time but the fact that all conceptual entities are interdependent means that no species can change in isolation. There seems to be a minimum requirement for distinctiveness between closely related species unless perhaps we get involved in specialist breeding programmes and genetic experiments. (How many breeds of wolf are there compared to breeds of dog?)

All phenomena in existence owe their being to the properties of the one idea that exists, the number one. The number one must be separated from itself by a measure that allows a conceptual seed to arise in the field of infinite possibility. Why? Because each manifestation of existence is a register of the number of individuality. The minimum distance of conceptual separation is that which permits each one not to know itself from what is unconscously knows about everything. The quantum phenomenon operates on all levels of existence, not just the very small. It simply means that on some level or other, all manifiest concepts have some marker or atom of individuality in a concept space that represents an direct implication of the root concept of all, the number one. The unavoidable topic in all this that is anathema to biologists is that of design.The problem with our conventional view of time is that it does not conform to the idea of a conceptual matrix. The process by which new concepts spring into existence is called emergence and is part of a science or branch of mathematics called complexity theory. To use an analogy, when parents conceive a child we tend to think of them as creating a baby. However, what they actually conceive is the adult it will grow up to be. More profoundly, the moment of conception emerges from the subsequent instant of death which we imagine has not yet 'cast its shadow' over the pattern of existence. It is conclusions that give rise to conceptions. In fact a conception is not a beginning, it is simply the totality of an idea. It is not part of time but there will be limited time during which its opportunity to exist is viable.

A conclusion is a necessary outcome for the unfoldment of the universe. All conclusions are contained within the vast idea of the present and only moment of time that exists; the universal origin - now. When an idea emerges, the probability of its existence is implicated in the whole universe. It is unavoidable because its culmination or conclusion is inevitable. It is the light of consciousness entering a place and time. Time here is a landscape which the infinite being sees in its entirety. Connectivity
