The evolutionary theory of behavior dynamics is a complexity theory that instantiates the Darwinian principles of selection, reproduction, and mutation in a genetic algorithm. The algorithm is used to animate artificial organisms that behave continuously in time and can be placed in any experimental environment. The present paper is an update on the status of the theory. It includes a summary of the evidence supporting the theory, a list of the theory's untested predictions, and a discussion of how the algorithmic operations of the theory may correspond to material reality. Based on the evidence reviewed here, the evolutionary theory appears to be a strong candidate for a comprehensive theory of adaptive behavior.
行为动态的进化理论是一种复杂性理论，它在遗传算法中实例化了达尔文的选择、繁殖和突变原则。该算法用于为在时间上连续表现并可置于任何实验环境中的人工生物赋予生命。本文是对该理论现状的更新。它包括支持该理论的证据总结、该理论未经测试的预测清单，以及关于该理论的算法操作如何与物质现实相对应的讨论。基于这里回顾的证据，进化理论似乎是适应性行为的综合理论的有力候选者。
