A CYBERNETIC CONCEPT OF EVOLUTION—A VIEWPOINT

Abstract

It is possible to derive a law, which relates mean cardiac and respiratory frequencies of fish, birds and mammals, to the concept of musical intervals of Pythagoras and that of the efficiency of rhythmic phenomena in electrophysiology and electricity. This proves the importance of automation in the evolution of living beings. It is also possible to explain the analogy between the evolution of the macrocosm (universe) and that of the microcosm by means of Belot's theory ‘Dualistic origin of Worlds’. This mechanism explains several facts which Newton's theory of universal attraction could not achieve.
