Cumulative selection is presented as a complex process influenced by higher-order networks, challenging the simplicity often attributed to neo-Darwinist theories. The author argues that for any cumulative selection to function, a preconfigured hyper-complex network is necessary. This perspective raises questions about evolutionary directionality, suggesting that even in a teleology-free evolution, a form of Intelligent Design—termed active teleonomy—may be essential. The work delves into the intricate interplay of these evolutionary mechanisms, offering a nuanced view of evolutionary processes.
