A unifying theory of evolution generated by means of information modelling

A unifying theory of evolution generated by means of information modelling / Jytte Brender McNair.

Stringent ways of thinking, 'conceptual frameworks', are necessary in science. The drawback is that the associated assumptions, concepts, rules and practice may become so deeply entrenched that they turn into tacit knowledge and hence give rise to constraints in scientific thought and prac...
