Evolution by Emergence: A Universal Theory of Networks, Life, and Mind
Authors: Albert Jan van Hoek & ChatGPT & Gemini Version: 0.88 (As of April 13, 2025) Status: Actively Developed Draft (Work in Progress)
Abstract / Overview
This repository contains the LaTeX source code for the book Evolution by Emergence: A Universal Theory of Networks, Life, and Mind. The book presents an interdisciplinary exploration into the interconnected web of interactions underpinning existence. It introduces and applies the Evolution by Emergence paradigm, a framework asserting that evolution is a universal process driven by network dynamics, feedback, and selection, applicable far beyond the biological realm. We weave together insights from network theory, complexity science, evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence, and philosophy to reveal how simple, local interactions give rise to complex, adaptive systems—and ultimately, to the emergence of cooperation, societal norms, and the concept termed Forced Free Will (or Constrained Agency and Network Alignment). This work is the product of a unique collaboration between human insight (Albert Jan van Hoek) and artificial intelligence (ChatGPT and Gemini), reflecting a new paradigm of writing and research. The authorship process is detailed within the book itself. As this is a work in progress, the content, structure, and bibliography are subject to ongoing refinement and change.
Key Concepts Explored
- Evolution by Emergence Paradigm: A proposed universal framework for evolution across diverse systems (biological, geological, social, technological).
- Network Perspective: Emphasis on dynamic networks over static lineages in evolution.
- Feedback Loops & Interdependence: Central roles in driving system dynamics and adaptation.
- Competition & Collaboration: Dual forces shaping emergent order.
- Forced Free Will / Constrained Agency: The idea that choices are fundamentally constrained by network dynamics and imperatives for persistence.
- Universality: Application of principles to non-living systems (e.g., mineral evolution) and potential artificial consciousness.
- Sustainable Collaborative Alignment Protocol (SCAP): A proposed ethical and operational framework derived from the paradigm (see Appendix).
