This means that a kind of &amp;quot;natural selection&amp;quot; acts between the existing parts of a mixed state. Darwinism in the quantum world. &lt;p&gt;Interestingly, I have just come across a similar idea one or two weeks ago when reading &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.isbn.pl/I-0387984194/" target="_blank"&gt;Moral Calculations : Game Theory, Logic, and Human Frailty&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot; by Laszlo Mero. The author compares wave/particle dualism in physics, gene/group selection in biology, and other concepts from other fields with basic findings from game theory. So, is everything around  - nature, i.e. - just following a certain optimal strategy (which would be based on a probability distribution, as Mero shows) in a big game? The world just got a little bit stranger (to me, at least) ...&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=4652575551799849501&amp;page=RSS%3a+Quantum+Darwinism+(%3f)&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=frankpr.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=frankpr"&gt;</description><comments>http://frankpr.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!409144D05FB2721D!127.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://frankpr.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!409144D05FB2721D!127.entry</guid><pubDate>Tue, 28 Dec 2004 21:36:43 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://frankpr.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!409144D05FB2721D!127/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://frankpr.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!409144D05FB2721D!127.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2004-12-28T21:36:43Z</dcterms:modified></item></channel></rss>
