The ideas and methods of the general theory of evolution formulated by the author in previous publications havebeen developed in the work. The provisions of the author's concept are systematized, which are presented in the formof three laws of evolution concerning the essence and features of the functioning of the main concept of the theory –the mechanism of evolution.The First (basic) law of evolution states that the complexity of an evolving system always increases. Thus, an increasein the complexity of one or another mechanism of evolution is a necessary condition for evolution, in the area wherethis mechanism operates. The Second Law of Evolution defines the qualitative nature of the behavior in time of anymechanism of evolution, that is, its temporal dynamics. When formulating the Third Law of Evolution, it is noted thatthe increase in complexity is only a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for evolution. Under some circumstances,the system gets the opportunity to demonstrate an abnormal increase in complexity, while practically not evolving.As a result, a situation arises of an uncontrolled, "parasitic" increase in the complexity of the system, not directly relatedto its evolution, which gives reason to single out a parasitic component in the complexity of the system, which givesa constantly increasing load on the system. This is the basis for formulating the Third law of evolution – the law of growth" parasitic" complexity, which explains the essence and causes of almost all evolutionary catastrophes.The laws of evolution are illustrated by examples of the behavior of the genetic, neural, communication and financialinformation-network mechanisms of evolution. Of particular interest is the evolutionary interpretation of the inflationarymodel of the Universe in the approach of Roger Penrose. In the spirit of the above conceptual provisions, an analysis wasmade of the crisis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic (“Corona” Crisis”), which was used by the ruling circles asan element of “controlled chaos”. Having produced a global disturbance of the world socio-economic system, the crisisremained manageable to an acceptable extent. At the same time, the World Financial System with the dollar at the headhas withstood and, perhaps, even somewhat strengthened.An analysis of all the mentioned phenomena and processes leads to the conclusion that in any system at a certain stageof evolution, a structure begins to appear, consisting of three zones: controlled (managed); uncontrolled (unmanaged)and intermediate between them – weakly (conditionally) controlled (managed). In terms of observability, it sounds likeany sufficiently complex system has an observable (“light”) part, an unobservable (dark”), and an intermediate (“gray”)region between them. The noted effect is universal and manifests itself in almost all subject areas.This approach allows, within the framework of a unified methodology, to analyze the phenomena and processesof both natural and social history. The “Corona” Crisis, as a representative of a series of acute global crises of our time,really turns out to be connected with the “Dark Matter” of the financial-information-network mechanism.The author draws attention to the fact that crises and catastrophes occupy a very significant place in the arsenalof Evolution's tools. This circumstance poses very responsible tasks for the scientific community.
