Evolution
In the context of OrganicDesign, Evolution refers to the change of behaviour that an entity (system in the Ontology) undergoes over time in response to changes in its environment. Examples of such changes are changes in what's required of it, in supply of it's resources or in demand of its services.
This change is based on trial and error, which in turn requires the ability to assess its performance in terms of its responses to requirements made of it and of its usefulness to the whole network (in the same way as a cell could be assessed in terms of its usefulness to the organism as a whole - see Spontaneous Evolution for more detail on the cellular aspect).
In a holistic society, the usefulness of the individuals in terms of the well-being of the organism as a whole is an important parameter because their energy and resource for growth and even to exist is allocated by organism as a whole. But also in a properly functioning organism the well-being of all cells is assured, because this creates maximum vitality for the organism.
