The MES proposes a mathematical model for autonomous evolutionary systems and is based on the Category Theory of mathematics. This book provides comprehensive coverage of MES.

Modern biology portrays living systems, from the amoeba to the human organism, as mechanical toys shaped by the brute logic of natural selection. This book challenges the dogmas that frame our understanding of living systems and presents an alternative that avoids the pitfalls of non-scientific perspectives such as Vitalism and Creationism.
