Evolution

Unfortuately evolution has become a loaded term. Evolution here is meant in the ordinary sence of change correponding to a changing environment such a we witness often in our daily lives as well as through scientific inquiry. I am not refering to any particular theory of biological evolution such as random mutation or creationism. I am speaking of the adaptations within individuals that accompany changing environmental conditions as well as changes in systems in general, including social or abstract systems.
