Abstract in brief

  • The text argues that in addition to classical physical laws, there is a need for a new universal law to explain the behavior of complex, evolving systems in the universe.
  • It highlights that such systems, like stars or life, are similar because they are made of many components that can form countless configurations, which are then selected based on their function.
  • The authors introduce concepts like selection, persistence, and novelty as key to understanding how systems evolve by increasing their functional information over time.]
