Can Pareto Optimality Be Evidence of Life?

Astrobiology - 1 Jun 2026

Rodgers Niall, Loron Corentin C, Cleaves H James, van Zuilen Mark A, McMahon Sean

Abstract excerpt

Biological evolution confronts situations in which the modification of a trait to improve the performance of one function may diminish the performance of another. Similar trade-offs occur in economics and engineering, where they are evaluated with the concept of Pareto optimality. "Pareto optimal" solutions are solutions such that performance cannot be improved for any task without sacrificing performance for...
