Greetings,


It's right there in Chapter 11, "in the Metaphysics of Quality, what is evolving isn't patterns of atoms. What's evolving is static patterns of value".


Chapter 11:

"In traditional, substance-centered metaphysics, life isn't evolving toward anything. Life's just an extension of the properties of atoms, nothing more. It has to be that because atoms and varying forms of energy are all there is. But in the Metaphysics of Quality, what is evolving isn't patterns of atoms. What's evolving is static patterns of value, and while that doesn't change the data of evolution it completely up-ends the interpretation that can be given to evolution.
