ON FORMAL MODELS OF FACTORS AND MECHANISMS OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION

Two formal types of models of living processes, especially evolutionary ones, may be distinguished: the well-known mathematical type and the less-known logical one. The latter applies the terms “class” or “set”; both the terms are understood either in a collective sense (in mereology) or in a distri...
