Chaos, complexity and computation are especially important concepts with respect to both the Evolution of biological systems and the evolution of the Universe. We consider each of these five entities separately, and then view their combination in an overall consideration of both evolution and Evolution. The concept of computation can be directly derived from processes characteristic of the Evolution of biology or the evolution of the Universe, rather than presumed from our own mathematical ideas. We advocate the inclusion of meaning in science's deliberations, and support this by insisting that physically embodied abstractions should be considered part concrete in character. Combination of our initial five conceptual entities indicates that biological Evolution follows the same developmental criteria as the evolution of the Universe, albeit with an intermediate change in strategy. We conclude that evolutionarily derived computation is the prime driver of evolution/Evolutions' implications.
混沌、复杂性和计算在生物系统的进化以及宇宙的演化方面都是特别重要的概念。我们分别考虑这五个实体中的每一个，然后在对进化和演化的整体考量中审视它们的组合。计算的概念可以直接从生物学进化或宇宙演化的特征过程中推导出来，而不是从我们自己的数学观念中假定出来。我们主张在科学的思考中纳入意义，并通过坚持认为物理体现的抽象在性质上应被视为部分具体的来支持这一点。我们最初的五个概念实体的组合表明，生物演化遵循与宇宙演化相同的发展标准，尽管在策略上有一个中间变化。我们得出结论，进化衍生的计算是进化/演化影响的主要驱动力。
