The principle of systemic correspondence in evolutionary processes

Abstract

Over the last century, the theory of evolution has received several strong impulses, such as the transfer from the concept of a static universe to the concept of a developing universe, the development of genetics and the large amount of factual material accumulated by it, the widened knowledge in molecular chemistry and biochemistry, and so on. The most ambitious project is perhaps the creation of the universal theory of evolution. The fundamentals of the modern view on the global evolutionary process that unites the development of living and nonliving matter are presented. The author demonstrates how the systemic approach, the theory of the self-organization of complex systems, and the principle of systemic correspondence make it possible to explain various facts and to overcome ideas that for a long time disturbed scientists, particularly, the view on evolution as determined by incidental events and lacking an internal logic of development.
