In evolution thermodynamics, Rush W. Dozier Jr. (1950-2010) was an American science-technology journalist note for []“Dozier attempts here to combine quantum mechanics, biological evolution, and neurology—the three ‘codes of evolution’—into one comprehensive theory of the universe, which he calls ‘unified selection’. Dozier does a job of explaining how the laws of quantum mechanics underlie molecular biology and how biology in turn is the foundation for current theories of consciousness. However, he fails to explain what any of this has to do with the "collapse of the wave function" or the "thermodynamic pulse," two catch phrases in this theory of unified selection that come up repeatedly.”Dover, as we see, is covering a lot of intellectual ground—though, in the end, the result tends to be rather superficial and in many places off base and or baseless, e.g. arguing that the randomness of uranium 238 decay yields indeterminism allowing for free will, following collapse of the wavefunction of the universe, or something along these lines.

| Dozier’s "nested evolution" diagram, which explains that the entire universe is constructed from the fundamental codes of matter, life, and thought. He defines these as follows: quantum, genetic, and synaptic, all of which can be explained in terms of a hierarchical diagram. Each code is the pre-requisite for the next, and each generates the next one out of itself. The result is a process of holistic emergent evolution. This theory, supposedly, is similar to Austrian-born American astrophysicist Erich Jantsch’s 1979 self-organizing universe autopoietic perspective. [2] |
