Abstract

Nature does not consciously optimize. Rather, classical minimum principles serve to select from among all possible events that one event or sequence of events which is actually observed in nature. Here, we show, by way of example, that some principles may be recast as multicriteria minimal principles, and we offer a concept of biological growth based on a postulated minimal principle whose outcome we have termed natural structural shapes.
