Abstract:
The ultimate goal of science is to describe the state and evolution of all material systems in terms of eliminating known principles, each principle being an unanswered question at this time. The existence of extremum principles in many scientific fields, equivalent to the fundamental principles governing the corresponding class of evolutions, and a recent paper that showed that such principles work in the living world, led us to seek a universal principle of extremum. This is the principle of evolution, formulated in absolutely general conditions and without postulating any physical hypothesis. Only two general principles of mathematical modeling were stated, meant to "standardize" the discussion framework. The success of the general modeling of material reality evolution is also due to the natural construction of the energy concept developed in a previous study, which eliminated the principle of conservation and transformation of energy and offered a fundamental scheme of reasoning.
