Evolution Theory
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Believes that everything is in dynamic change, with the core mechanism being the cycle of "variation + selection + inheritance". It does not pursue static perfection, but rather adaptation. - Function/Applicable scenarios: Understand change and adaptation. When you are in a rapidly changing environment, or need to design products/organizations that can survive long-term.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Expect constant change: treat everything as dynamic rather than fixed. - Trace the core loop: look for the recurring cycle of variation, selection, and inheritance. - Let reality select: generate many variations, keep what survives, and carry it forward.
Anchor fast decisions
Biological populations undergo changes in the frequency of adaptive traits across generations through variation, inheritance, and selection; natural selection drives evolution. Later extended to analogies of "evolution" in culture, technology, and organizations.
