Peircers,
Yet another bit of e-synchronicity ...
(or maybe a-synchronicity ???)

Re: ''To develop the concept of evolutionary games as “learning” processes in which information is
gained over time.''
My customary recommendation on this point is to look more deeply into the work of C.S. Peirce on the
themes of evolution, inquiry, and their interaction. Peirce stands out as one of the few pioneers
in the study of scientific method who managed to avoid the dead-ends of naive deductivisim and naive
inductivisim. He developed Aristotle’s concept of abductive reasoning in a way that anticipated
later insights into the dynamics of paradigm shifts. A question worth exploring in this connection
is whether abductive hypothesis formation is the analogue within scientific method of random mutation.
