What is Survival of the Fittest

Chapter 20
Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Fourth Edition
A theory of evolution grounded on the assumption that for any given change in the environment the best suited structure of an object provides the greatest advantage in performance. This assumption is explicit outcome of the assumption that the relations between structure and functionality are expressed by recursive means only.

Abstract
Semantic intelligence is an exclusive for the intelligent complex systems way of response to an ever-changing environment. Its major distinctive property is autonomous comprehension and creation of information. Another exclusive property of semantic intelligence is autonomous discrimination between true and false statements. The semantic intelligence naturally arises in the setting of concept of boundedness where it commences from highly non-trivial interplay between structural and functional properties of a complex system. The major generic property of that interplay is that it renders the relation between structural and functional properties to be non-recursive. In result this renders the efficiency of semantic intelligence to be provided by efficiency of hierarchical self-organization of a complex system prior to the efficiency of software and to the speed of hardware.
