摘要
自然選擇 is shown to be an extended instance of a Maxwell's demon device. A demonic selection principle is introduced that states that organisms cannot exceed the complexity of their selective environment. 熱力學 constraints on error repair impose a fundamental limit to the rate that 資訊 can be transferred from the environment (via the selective demon) to the 基因組. Evolved mechanisms of learning and inference can overcome this limitation, but remain subject to the same fundamental constraint, such that plastic behaviors cannot exceed the complexity of reward signals. A natural measure of 演化ary complexity is provided by mutual 資訊, and niche construction activity-the organismal contribution to the construction of selection pressures-might in principle lead to its increase, bounded by 熱力學 free energy
