1. The Evolutionary perspectiveOn Information transforming systemsand Critical Realism
2. An individualIs developing and storing for future developingIn timeIn a selective (differentially perpetuating) environment1.Evolutionary perspective
3. What defines an individual (a species)?Which influences act on development? Which of them are internal- / external (ly caused)? How does an individual isolate from external influences…? How does storing work? Can probable future environmental developments be predicted? Estimated?(How) Is the progression of time felt?Can selective criteria be observed / learned? Does an individual (species) influence selective regimes of its environment?Evolutionary perspective asks
4. Focus on the differential perpetuation of stable states and stability of states. Relations are analyzed in terms of dependencies and interactions (growth promoting, growth inhibiting, contradicting effects, actual and perceived stationarity)Dynamics of energy transformations known from physics (2nd Law of Thermodynamics & Principle of Stationary Action)Focusing on process in my work
5. Is a composed term comprising a General philosophy of science & a Special philosophy of the human sciencesCritical Realism
6. Science should be understood as an ongoing process. Scientists improve the concepts they use to understand the mechanisms they study. Notthe identification of a coincidence between a postulated independent variable and dependent variable. the generally assumed non-existence of a posited mechanism because of its non-realisation through an assumably explicit experimental setup Critical Realism: General Philosophy of Science
7. A social scientific method toidentify the mechanisms producing social events.My Evolutionary View-Hypothesis: These –in precaution called analogous- mechanisms have an evolutionary changing progress of selective environments and information processing behind them, compared to a presumed origin in the physical worldCritical Realism: Special Philosophy of the human SciencesPhysics Environment (PE)Physico-Chemical Environment (PCE)Metabolico-Biological Environment (MBE)Intentional Environment (IE)

9. Viewed from an information ethical perspective, my evolutionary view aims at a scientifically rigid but open minded preoccupation withthe multitude of different body forms, forms of self-supporting systems and the diverse strategies which developed to achieve stability. Diversityand an scientifically rigid but open minded preoccupation with the question, if unlimited liberalism in choosing between strategies is ethical and wise with regard to future developing – or if some observable limits for stabilizing dynamics in systems known from e.g. Biology could have broader validity, especially when information is physical. ConstraintIf information is physical…
10. ETHICS includes a standard and goals for “good” acting; offers answers for situation dependent contextual acting; asks the question about definition and potential limits of free will.Acting influences: Energy- and matter flows &Emotional impressions of individuals.Environmental setup (usually) in small stepsMy Evolutionary View on Information Transforming Systems should not be taken as normative for acting and non-acting but presents examples of processes during evolutionary history vividly, so that individual assessment of a possible normativity is stimulated in readers.
