Creative immortality Creative immortality Another concept of immortality can be called creative immortality , or evolutionary immortality . This uniquely human motive underlies, probably, all major creative feats of human history. I call it Evolution, because contemporary science tells us that human history is but a small part of the universal cosmic process. The theory of evolution is the cornerstone of the contemporary scientific worldview.
Evolution is a constant emergence of higher and higher levels of cybernetic control .
This process provides a material means for the manifestation of the mysterious something that we call freedom, or will, or free will. Evolution proceeds by metasystem transition s, in which a number of pre viously uncoordinated systems become controled by a metasystem, which thereby vastly expands the effects of its free choices. Hierarchical levels of control created by evolution are, essentially,amplifiers of freedom. The evolutionary growth of the control hierarchy is a natural law, to which we refer as the Law of Evolution, or the Plan of Evolution. Like every law of nature, the Plan of Evolution does not determine uniquely and in detail how things will develop.
