TL;DR: In this paper, an explanatory scheme for all of history from the beginning of the universe until life on Earth today is presented, based on the ways in which energy levels as well as matter and energy flows have made possible both the rise and demise of complexity in all its forms.
Abstract: In this article, I advance an explanatory scheme for all of history from the beginning of the Universe until life on Earth today (big history). My scheme is based on the ways in which energy levels as well as matter and energy flows have made possible both the rise and demise of complexity in all its forms.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate a general scientific concept of a universal evolution, in which selforganization of the material systems acts as a common ground and a permanent process of progressive development in the visible universe.
Abstract: In this article investigate a general scientific concept of a global (universal) evolution, in which selforganization of the material systems acts as a common ground and a permanent process of progressive development in the visible Universe. The main problem of research of this type of evolution is seen as a superhighway trajectory of evolutionary processes in the Universe, in which there is a continuous selforganization of the material systems, ranging from the Big Bang and to the social level of evolution, which may have an indefinite continuation of society and nature.
TL;DR: The project “Evolution of Information Processing” is not the first attempt to describe evolution in an interdisciplinary context, but with the formulation of such a law Spencer went a step beyond Darwin, who had considered the origin both of life from inorganic matter and of the human mind to be unanswerable questions.
Abstract: The project “Evolution of Information Processing” is not the first attempt to describe evolution in an interdisciplinary context, since the extension of the biological theory of evolution to inorganic nature on the one hand and to human society on the other is a logical consequence of this theory already recognised by Darwin. He explicitly said that “the principle of life will be recognised as part or sequel of a universal law” [1]. His contemporary Spencer even tried to formulate such a general law and turned it into the basis of a synthetic evolutionary philosophy, which was based, however, to a large extent on speculations not empirically verified. In this general law, development and evolution are conceived of as an increase in complexity, i.e. as a process leading from unspecified and incoherent homogeneity to specified coherent heterogeneity [2]. With the formulation of such a law Spencer went a step beyond Darwin, who had considered the origin both of life from inorganic matter and of the human mind to be unanswerable questions.
TL;DR: The present article is devoted to the issue of unity of laws, patterns and mechanisms of evolution at all its stages and levels and also to the place of social evolution in the single and universal process of universal evolution or mega-evolution.
