Thermoinfocomplexity A New Theory: Origin of Life and Evolution of Complex Adaptive Systems.

by Behzad Mohit

Thermoinfocomplexity combines the stochastic interplay of energy and information that leads to the emergence of complex adaptive systems. It is scale-free and applies to the emergence of molecules, man and society. The theory carefully develops the physico-chemical rationale behind the selection of complex systems based on their efficient extraction and utilization of energy from their environment. Thermoinfocomplexity also explains the scaling laws of metabolism from bacteria to amoeba, man, and human society. A good metaphor for this process (shown on the front cover) is the trajectory of a ball, (photon) that travels down a pinball machine. A bacteria provides a simple and human a very complex path for the pinball (Gibbs free-energy) to travel. Finally, the energy of the living matter dissipates as heat, increasing the entropy of the universe as per second law of thermodynamics.
