NOTE

Hierarchy of Repairability and Core Principles in Evolutionary Biology

Mutations in biological systems are influenced by random factors like radiation, but there is a hierarchy of repairability in biological systems. This implies the presence of a core set of foundational principles guiding the system with room for variation and experimentation at the periphery. Such core principles function as the deepest mechanisms of orientation, akin to religious principles, providing a sense of stability and guidance. Individuals may differ in their inclination towards experimentation, with some exploring at deeper levels while others stick to the fundamentals. This analogy can be applied to the biological side, where the two poles are referred to as the sacred and the shamanistic.
