Evolutionary systems

Evolutionary systems are a type of system, which reproduce with mutation whereby the most fit elements survive, and the less fit die down.[1]

One of the developers of the evolutionary systems thinking is Béla H. Bánáthy.

[2] Evolutionary systems are characterized by "moving equilibria and the dynamics of coevolutionary interactions which can not be foreseen ex ante."[3]

The study of evolutionary systems is an important subcategory of Complex Systems research.
