The main premise of this theory is that consciousness drives the biology, and not the other way around. Though persuasively argued, Dr. Lipton's paper failed to elicit a positive response the orthodoxy . Fractal Evolution maintains that genetic mutation is only one source of novelty, and by no means the most important. Fractal Evolution argues that natural selection, as defined by the Darwinists, is an insufficient explanation of the cause of evolution. Fractal Evolution maintains that the cellular brain is the plasmalemma, and thus the plasmalemma has physiological primacy.
Ultimate primacy belongs to intelligence encoded in environment.
Biology and Consciousness Darwinism maintains that biology drives consciousness. Fractal Evolution maintains that design in nature, and in the evolutionary process, is describable in terms of fractal geometry and mathematics. There is nothing arbitrary in the designs of nature. Fractal Evolution views struggle as a condition of biological life, but not the primary condition. The primary condition is co-operation of the phospholipids in the formation of the cellular vesicle.
