Subject: Re: Lee Smolin and Darwin's Uncommon Success
So does this explain the PURPOSE of the universe or merely a dominant FUNCTION?
The blind exercise of function doesn't seem to me to include the global concept
of purpose. The use of this word is about my only gripe with it. I could be
wrong.
Cheers,
K
