[MD] Heads or tails?

[ian glendinning]

Hi Krimel,

Can't pretend to understand what you meant by "reconciling Ooops with
an Omega point" either, but no matter ... ;-)

How about ... I assert ...

Happenings can "occur" randomly, but "what" happens is neither
entirely random nor pre-determined. What happens (in the long run,
over populations, over multiple cycles, over multiple levels) tends
towards better fit.

Apart from defining what "better" and "fit" mean - which is where we came in, -
And Apart from the "why" question in that tendency - does what I'm
asserting there make sense ?

(I intorduced ratchets - aka static latches - as part of my why
explanation, but let's be sure we understand the assertion first.)
