Evolution Lemmas

Background The formulation below attempt to answer what is the origin of the concept of gene. The statement of this article is that a concept of a gene as a unit of evolution originates naturally under the known laws of physics. The following is the formulation of the evolution principle that applies equally well to living and non-living elements, with the best example of the principle at work in the spontaneous symmetry break phenomena. Gene equates to having a pseudo-stable property of unstable elements in the set. Example of pseudo-stable properties are particle properties such as electric charge if you an electron or color of your eyes if you are a person. An example of a set is a space of quantum fields for particles or species for humans. Initial assumptions We have a set of unstable elements that can potentially decay into a mix of more and less stable elements with different properties. Some properties of elements define how elements interact, other properties define how stable
