The Evolution of Pre-Human Living Systems and Their Programs

Abstract

Any developing system may be considered in two ways: physical and informational. In the former, we attempt to understand the physical essence of processes which occur within the system, which change it in time, and which exert influence on other systems. In the latter, we limit ourselves to a description of the general regularities of changes of the system, basing these on changes of some external characteristics or of their composite, this being observed in time and space.
