Evolution of Representation–Interpretation Systems: From Molecular Replicators to Artificial Intelligence

2026-07-06

Abstract excerpt

This paper proposes that a fundamental organizational trend in biological, cognitive, cultural, and technological evolution is the emergence of progressively more capable representation–interpretation systems. Across these domains, evolution has repeatedly generated systems in which representations acquire causal significance through increasingly sophisticated processes of interpretation rather than through their...
