Brooks and E.O. Wiley examined biological change through the lens of nonequilibrium thermodynamics and information theory. They observed that living systems produce entropy as they generate variation through mutation and speciation. Organization arises as a constraint on that entropy increase rather than as the primary driver. Their core result states that evolution proceeds as an entropic phenomenon. Natural selection acts as a rate-limiting filter on patterns that entropy production already generates.\\n\\n## Core results from the 1988 edition\\n\\nThe book presents a unified theory that treats ontogeny, phylogeny, and speciation as processes that increase informational entropy within bounded systems. Energy flow through open systems produces hierarchical structure. Random increases in genetic variation raise the entropy of the information content carried by populations. Phylogenetic branching and species formation follow the same statistical patterns seen in dissipative structures. The authors replace the view of selection as the creative force with a view of selection as a boundary condition that slows the rate at which entropy would otherwise dissipate.\\n\\n## Exact passages and citations\\n\\nThe primary work is Brooks, D.R. and Wiley, E.O.
