An inventive mechanism (Evolution)

by dhw, Monday, October 13, 2014, 16:41 (3692 days ago) @ David Turell

Dhw: We have agreed that evolution is a continuum, and we have agreed that ALL inventiveness is subject to limitations - not even your bridge-builder can do what he cannot do, and if his bridge is to be successful, it has to cope with conditions that are beyond his control. There is nothing in this world that is totally free from such constraints and guidelines, and so according to you there is no such thing as autonomy. -DAVID: As long as we are sticking to the IM, there are limitations. I agree. -dhw: Do you agree that the word inventive in the term inventive mechanism means creating new things and performing new actions without being preprogrammed
 
DAVID: As our concept has developed, yes. It offers a way out of my total pre-programming and dabbling dilemma.-Thank you. Then we can examine your dilemma in more detail on the "purpose" thread.
