Levolution
is a process that results in nested systems, or levels of nested order,
among all the things in the universe. We know that it must really
happen because the universe is composed entirely of such nested systems.
In this new book detailing the Levolution process,
Michael Gunter unites physics and ecology to identify new thermodynamic
principles related to Entropically Functional Order. The result is an
exciting new perspective that puts the newly proposed Laws of
Functional Order on the table for discussion.
These include the principles of dissipative structures,
thermodynamic natural selection, and universal evolution, but levolution
stands out as the process that has built the cosmic order.
