Summary: Darwin's theory and that of the multistable system are related by intersecting in a set of theorems that contains both.
Summary: How to develop the theory of "knowing".
Evolution reviewed
Knowing theory of
Natural Selection [80]: Relation between multistable systems and evolving genetic system reviewed, { 4606 - 4620 }
Natural Selection [81]: Darwinian systems and the multistable system both use some of the theorums in the theory of large systems, 4620.
The Multistable System [86]: The multistable system resembles the Darwinian because both share large numbers of common theorums in the much larger theory of systems. 4620.

Summary: With systems in general, do not look for the law; each must be studied and taken as it is found. Over a set of systems a constraint may be found. 5114.7.
Society [64]: Societies far from the atomic level are too many to give a necessary law, though a constraint may be found in practice. 5113, 5115.
