evolution is based on simple rules
Evolution is adaptation over iterations
Evolution happens in spurs
Evolution does not mean better, it means more adapted to its environment
There might be a time where adaptation is no longer possible. At that point, the system needs to go through a transformation
Outside stimuli is probabilistic
We get better results by aiming for good enough
Human-created systems also evolve
Path dependency: history matters—systems evolve based on where they’ve been.
