Abstract

The article studies and develops the evolutionary process and its influence on viable systems. It proposes a form to understand natural selection as a shaping force in viable systems. The method applied is argumentative analysis of a logical structure using theories from cybernetics and biology. The article proposes in its findings that evolutionary forces act upon the organisation and structure of viable systems and that the system´s identity carries out the information needed to guide its adaptation to the environment. Furthermore, the article implies that the relationship between identity and the environment is also evolutionary and that viable systems also shape the environment.
